Ok, folks. If you really want to create an occupation that will make the 1% notice, occupy the Upper East Side, for God's sake. I work up there (as do many of the 99% of us who are holding up this country) for millionaires, Wall Street folks, hedge fund owners, getting paid $90 an hour to teach music to their kids. I never have to advertise, as my whole entire business is word-of-mouth. (1%=relatively small community) Regarding Wall Street: newsflash: many of these folks have made SO MUCH MONEY that they are retired in their 40s and don't ever have to set foot in downtown Manhattan again. Listen, I work my ass off as a teacher/musician. I am self-employed, have paid off my student loans but still live in a basement apartment in Brooklyn. At 38, I'm starting to think, "Gee, when the #%$@ can I buy a house? When can I finally have more than $1,000 saved up in the bank? When do I get to buy new clothes; not from Good will?" So take this little piece of advice and let's head uptown. I'll be there. :)
Maybe you can buy a house when you learn to save your money. How about you start to skip the nights out at the local pub buying PBR. Or I dont know, give up the cell phone with the data plan, get rid of cable tv, the internet. Making $90 is quite a lot of money. I would think making that type of money you would be able to save something. Unless of course you need to buy the latest hipster clothing from american apparel or the new iphone that comes out every 18 months. You, my friend are a turd.
