I appreciate your input on the subject matter of financial security and how to achieve it as a musician.
I have to admit that any small royalty check, cd or merch sale means a lot to me. Not so much the monetary value, but the fact that I made it 100% with my music. I almost wanted to frame my first month’s check from teaching piano in Nashville when I stopped waitressing a couple years ago. Lol!
Although I am blessed to make most of my money in the summer when I run my family’s restaurant….. I still doubt my worth as a musician during that time.
It’s unfortunate we question our worth and value as musicians to such an extreme vs other people in different professions.
Thank you for sharing and making us feel a little less alone in the struggle.
