Waiting for a bus

I’m waiting for a bus for the first time in my life. Previously in a situation like this I would take an uber. But today I’m taking the bus.

I make over 120,000 a year at my job as a programmer, and an uber will cost me 8. In terms of time this makes no sense. It’s not worth an hour of my time to take a bus to downtown seattle when I could uber there in 15 minutes.

I’m doing this because I know if I get into the habit of taking the bus it will become second nature to ne and won’t seem alien. Eventually I’ll save more and more money this way. For now it feels extremely strange and like a waste of time to me.

If I’m able to get into the mindset of saving money eventually I’ll be able to quit my job and make games full time. That’s the dream anyway. With each bus taken I can feel a little bit closer to making that next game that will change someone’s life.
