So I have my book in the final stages. I've been trying to get a job for months to get the book of the ground, but no matter what I do I wont get any calls back for employment. So I figure ill just fund my book without a job. I'm 20, and this will be my first book release & credit card. I'm not sure what expenses it will cost to publish my book on amazon, but i'm trying to keep under the $2,000 margin. This is a number i feel comfortable paying back to the bank. From what I know, the expenses that I am facing so far are

- Buying a laptop (Don't have a computer)
- Editing
- Book cover
- Unknown expenses

This is my first book release so i'm not aware of any other expenses that I will face releasing my first book. Anyway I want to get advice from my fellow fastlaners. I'm by no means afraid of taking risk's (Thus my choice of not going to college, and even pursing the fastlane in the first place.) But I don't want to rack up dept to my eye balls that I cant pay back off. I know there is good dept, but I don't really understand too much of that. So let me know what you guys think, i'm open to your advice. Thanks in advance guys.
