Mirror on my wall, mirror on my wall, on the Medium landscape, who is the richest of them all?

People who get boosted.

Oh…

Alright, that’s fair. Allow me to rephrase my question: who is the brokest but happiest of them all?

That would be you. And all the other authors, who are proud of their work.

There you go!

All right, enough shenanigans. You clicked on this story for one reason: you want to know my earnings for the most depressing month of the year, January, and consequently, what I can afford with it this time around.

I’ve got to say that this month was very much the same as the last. I earned, more or less, the same amount as I did in December, around 20 euros. If you want to read that story, you can click here. And no, that’s not bad, at least for the first time in my life I am consistent in something!

Now, serious talk, I am pleased with the results so far; it’s nothing crazy and there’s space for improvement and to strive for more.

To keep things fresh, however, I will not be buying another book this month. Come on, I have to come up with something different. I will instead… what can I do with so little money… oh! Order some take-out pizza, you can never go wrong with that! You know, to cheer me up on this depressing month.

Yes, that’s pepperoni pizza, it’s what I can afford. Remember — I’m poor. Besides, pepperoni is always right. Photo by Maksim Goncharenok on Pexels

Now I really want pizza. Without a doubt, my next take-out will be exactly that. Cheers,

Sandra.
