save money so I can begin freelancing

I used to love my job. But lately I have been losing interest. Ideally, I’d love to open a veg restaurant… but until then, I want to start freelancing for non-profit groups. I do a lot of print design and some electronic design… and I want to do work that I care about. I think that in the new year I will start saving money (living buffer) so that I can start to get this off the ground. Working for myself, during my own hours, for groups that make positive differences in the world, in my own home is very appealling to me….
