Hello everyone! I apologize for changing the subject, but my name is Jake, I’m 14 years old, and I have two dreams – to save up for a PS5 and, in the future, to gift my mom a big house. I know the road ahead will be long, but I’m ready to work hard and put in all my efforts!

Right now, I help my mom at home while learning skills in Figma and Photoshop. I’ve been teaching myself through YouTube, so I’m not a professional yet, but I’m willing to help with simple design tasks.

To achieve my goal, I’m ready to do work for even $1 or even for free if anyone needs it! If you have small jobs related to Figma or Photoshop, I’d be happy to assist and gain some experience.

I recently opened a Bitcoin wallet to save the money I earn. I figured it out with the help of guides and videos. With each job, I get a step closer to my dream.

If you have tasks or just want to support me, here’s my Bitcoin wallet: [bc1qeez0jfmutx6rphdw4npscsgv2rwyusx6ytuv8p].

Thank you all for your attention and support!

It makes me so inspired to know that people my age have such very clear and strong goals in mind. Save for a PS5 and a house for mother, it's quite an amazing dream, to be honest. The thing is, you must be doing something very good by trying to get, at least, knowledge on learning Figma and Photoshop, just like lots of other designers start working on minimal tasks.

The only advice I have is to keep showing what you do. Even if this is just a small task, it is not complicated to create an online portfolio. By using free platforms such as Behance, or even social media, this will attract more potential opportunities when people see how capable you are. But I am sure of a couple of other online forums: the Reddit design groups and the Discord group would provide some really fine sources of feedback. Besides helping connect you with some of the projects that'd most likely be your customers.

Considering how young you said you are, i strongly believe you should do more on concentrating on the skill set you are learning, you don't need to put money first as your priority considering your age, your dream of getting your mom a house and other things you promise yourself will eventually come into fruition when you focus more on your skill set.
Over time, the skill you've learned will definitely spread to people's ears, especially if you're doing a wonderful job, so don't get yourself too worked up, as success is a gradual process.

The idea of opening a Bitcoin wallet to save money is a good one, because at this age you are, if you prioritize saving some part of the money you will be earning, it will help you a lot during your adulthood.

Awesome advice! Jake It makes all the difference when you have a good base in your skills. The more time that goes by, the more in advance you will be. Most 14-year-old students just focus on academics while continuing to improve their skills on Figma and Photoshop; so, you're already much ahead in that aspect. Do those exercises and always remember every step counts. Try looking up other design-related challenges. Try some different opportunities Or volunteer on a small project. It's a great way to build a portfolio of strengths.

It's smart to have the same frugality as you. And your idea of allocating your income to Bitcoin is a unique long-term strategy. Don't forget sometimes that skills and relationships can be more valuable than the money you save. Time will bring results of your further enthusiasm for learning. Wait, and you will get paid off.
