it seems like you've got a well-organized plan, and the intent behind your glow-up goals is admirable; however, the financial constraints and the workload you have outlined appear quite daunting. considering the potential stress levels, it's crucial to balance work with relaxation to prevent burnout. although your budgeting strategy seems meticulous, there's an inevitable sense of uncertainty in relying solely on the projected tips and the possibility of extra pay. maybe reevaluating your list of priorities and pace could contribute to a more manageable approach 🤔
