Hey guys. I've heard a lot about this forum and cannot believe how active it is. I'm shocked I've just signed up now.
So I am in a very, very strange circumstance but at a crossroads where it's either give up on attempting what I want to accomplish or take a risk and branch out. Allow me to explain.
I used to do Youtube for fun and it took off. Not to the point where I was loaded, but where it was doing pretty damn well. As time passed my father got sick and all of those aspirations fell to the wayside. He struggled for 2 years with cancer and my channel fell apart. I stopped caring, uploading - and more importantly taking care of my father.
I'd record videos in his house but the worst case scenario happened. He eventually passed away and the house was sold (Not paid off) for the estate.
After this happened I was left a sizable amount of money. No, I'm not a millionaire but I have all put away in the stock market. I moved out of his home and agreed to rent a town house with 2 of my family members. It's great financially because the rent is cheap and the area is great. Instead of blowing the money I went and got a really, really lame job - but it's a job none the less. It's actually improved my confidence because I feel like I am contributing towards society and not just sitting around like I did in my stages of grief.
So eventually I had the spark to create content again and it hit me "This house is to small. My room is nearly non-existent, someone is always talking, moving, ect".
I cannot record / create things anymore. It's not as simple as saying "Tell your family to quiet down" because it is their house too. It's not practical. I used to film all day every day, now I cannot even collaborate because I only film when someone is out of the house!
My options are these - Find my own apartment relatively close by, but the area is so expensive that it's impossible to find rent even cheaper since I am splitting it. Or B. Rent a small office.
I would literally be starting from square one and I have the funds to do this. No I'm not rich - at that rate I'd buy my own damn house, but I would at least have enough that going broke would not be an issue if it failed.
Simply put - I'm happy I'm working but I cannot stand the thought of no way out in the future. It KILLS me when I come home from a long day just wanting to record only to find I can't because someone is shouting, on the phone, ect. My room is nearly an open space - sound dampening won't help. I am not joking, my room is literally a loft - it only has 3 walls LOL. There is an OPEN SPACE to reaches out to the rest of the house. Sounds just penetrates the room because it's not even a room!
The goal was to buy one extra pc with all of the gear needed (So I could include friends / live action things in my videos) and rent a small office in a location close to me.
Sorry for being so long winded but I just want to make something of myself and take a risk. I am fine with failing, I'm fine with falling on my face and not having anyone like my content - but I cannot accept sitting on my a$$ and complaining, harnessing resentment towards my family memebers. I crawl out of my skin watching other content creators upload daily knowing that I have to wait for tiny windows when my family members leave to run errands. It's not their fault but I really do harness anger for the situation, it's no ones fault but mine.
Like I said I know it's an odd situation but most of you here are cultured in taking risks. Let me know what you think, thank you.
