I’ve been juggling my work as a test prep instructor with my passion for music composition and ballet, and I’m curious how others manage to fund their creative projects. Between sheet music, studio time, or even costumes for a small performance, costs add up quickly. Has anyone found budgeting strategies that work well for balancing day-to-day expenses with creative ambitions? I’d love to hear how you prioritize spending or save for bigger artistic goals especially if you’ve found clever ways to stretch a tight budget. Any advice or personal experiences would be super helpful!
