What is the One-Year Tightrope?

By Michael at 9:24 AM on November 15, 2009

I like to think this blog has a somewhat unique name, especially since for the first time in my life, I actually managed to get the domain of my choice on the first try.

The point of the one-year tightrope is that it will last for at least one year, in which I will share all my plans and goals, and my progress in meeting them, before I attempt to leave the next (again) and move to Austin, Texas.

Right now, I live in Ruidoso, New Mexico with my parents and my boyfriend, all of whom you will hear about frequently, I am sure. I started making money online by taking surveys and writing articles about a year ago, but so far, I have not been that successful. I firmly believe that will change as long as I keep working hard on this blog.

I hope to make enough money to put down a payment on a house and cover my first semester’s tuition, which will be around $30,000 for the first year as a nonresident.

Here, I will share my stories, tips, and hopefully encouraging words with all of you for free. As for making money, I haven’t quite figured that one out yet, but you’ll know when I do, I suppose.
