I am going to freeze my spending for the next 14 or so months. That means I am going to limit my spending as much that I can do during this time. But that is until I move back to Denmark in February 2013. I have to spend some money on food, maintenance on my computer and all necessary stuff. But I am going to limit that as I can possible do. I just hope that nothing dies or fails computer wise during this period.<\/p>\n<p>My debt paying down plan is running good at current time. I do not expect any problems with it, at least nothing that I cannot balance out in the budget during the paying down period. At least that is what I hope actually happens. But I have to wait and see what happens actually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How the donation button works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This might be obvious. But I am going to write it down anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Donation&#8221; button is a single donation. It is what you want to donate. It is a free range of what people want to donate. The &#8220;Subscribe&#8221; donation button is fixed at \u20ac10, but that is $14.17, 8.7GBP, 74.51 DKK, 93.29 SEK (current exchange rate, this is a estimate). It runs for 6 months and then has to be renewed. I did not want to last for 12 months or longer. I did not find it to be fair to the people how donate, as things change change a lot in 6 months. This option was for people how might want to donate regularly. But not a large amount each time they donate.<\/p>\n<p>People how want to donate in other currencies the Euro can do so. I support SEK, DKK, USD, GBP. If requested I can add more currencies that I can support. But it has to be a currency that might be used every once in a while. I do not want to support a currency that is never used for a donations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The income problem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I have told people before. I just have my income from social welfare. Something that I am to get my self off with income from e-book sales when the time comes. But at the moment this blog and a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonfr.com\/spacewatch\/\" target=\"_blank\">new blog<\/a> that I am going to create are my work and provide a little bit of income during the month. This extra income helps in that sense it allows me to pay down my debt faster. But I would not go as far saying it allows me to collect some money in the long run. But I am going to do my best with saving money during this winter, as I need to do if if I want to move back to Denmark.<\/p>\n<p>It is also a problem in Iceland in regards to income how prices are going up in regards to food and other stuff. I do however not expect this to be too big of a problem during the next 14 months or so while I am living in Iceland. I just hope that I make it out in time before the economic mess starts in Iceland. If people want to talk about it, they can do so <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jonfr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> on my main Icelandic blog where I write about this in English or Icelandic if they fancy Google Translate errors.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that my income problems gets less annoying when I start to publish my e-books. But I plan to release few short stories in few weeks time. Those are not long stories and won&#8217;t be expensive. At least I hope for the best when it comes to e-book sales.<\/p>\n<p>As always I thank you for the support that I get with donations. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a off-topic blog post.
