make a six figure salary

Not that I am all about money, I’m not. I spent the past ten years making a living off of my art. Well, I had NO money to start with so I never seemed to get that far finacially…I think my average was about 10k per year. I kid you not! So, I feel like I need to make up for lost money. I thought money was so evil, and yes I had fun. I travelled the world, lived in several different states, finished 2 degrees, and made a ton of art, and snowboarded my brains out off of 10k per year. Well, I have a talent in living off of nothing, but now I am in my 30s and I am sick of scrounging, and I want to own a house, drive a non-beater of a car (although I ride my $25 bicycle more than I drive). I guess it is time for me to grow up, and I have the brains to make good money, and these days anything under six figures seems like very little. And with the nothingness I have been making I need to save for retirement like crazy now. I think my new career in nursing will give me the opportunity to make 6 figures, and only work 3 days per week, and still have time to travel, snowboard, etc…and maybe even have kids! Woohoo!
