I still need to recoup costs. Physical media is expensive, but I fully believe in it. There's something about holding it in your hands.
So, I have to be careful with spending money, as we all do. Times are hard. I spend a ridiculous amount of money each month making minimum payments on debt. I have surgery to pay for soon. I can't be frivolous with money.
I don't have to make money at my music. I make decent money off working on other people's music, and I have other gigs that help out. I just need to at least break even with my stuff in a relatively short amount of time.
