One of the things I've been thinking about as an investment is building networks and relationships. As I've given into relationships it has returned in physical ways. I also share some of things like clothes and gardening. I'm volunteering at different sporting events to also build towards relationships to encourage health. A savings in the future towards health cost. Church is important in building relationships, but at this time most of it is outside hours I can offer because of my work schedule.

I've also talked with a reviewed investments for retirement to see if I'm track for retirement in my 60s.

Expenditures, Im postponing some major purchases and have been little by little putting into high yield savings for those purchases. It's been a long process. I wouldn't recommend it, but there's some great ways to get cash back on credit cards when your credit score is in the excellent category. Also cash back on cards if you keep up with the digital merchant offers.

Gardening has been my one thing I've been working on for self sufficiency. I have no tiller. I do it all with a shovel.

I've had some thoughts for awhile about trying to sell some artwork I've made. The difficulty is that there are so many others selling hand made items and art. I'm considering trying to offer some unique hand painted jewellery. I'm looking at a very small scale venture. Something that allows me to continue to make things as my hobby and also provide me with a little extra cash.

This is an interesting thread considering I have a relatively new Etsy store in which I sell my art on stationery and other home goods. I am also working on an anime light novel that I hope to self-publish soon. I've read so many resources online about how to run a business (and how to self-publish a book) and most are through a secular, materialistic point of view, so it's refreshing seeing this presented through a Biblical lens.
Based on personal experience, I've found the hardest part of running an Etsy shop is advertising or marketing because I lack money, connections, and time. I've tried social media platforms such as Instagram just because it doesn't cost anything to have an account there. But there is so much competition! You have to post all the time and you have to stand out and, in the end, it takes up all the time that you would use to produce products.
Do you have any ideas as to how to advertise effectively if you lack the aforementioned money, connections, and time? I'd love to hear your thoughts since I feel this is one of the most difficult parts of running a business. Thanks!

Yeah. I used to do art and it's heavily saturated.
