Last week, I realized that I have enough money. I’m saving, I’m eating well, and I’m paying my bills.

I’d been planning to get another tenant for my spare bedroom. But with that realization, I asked myself, Why deal with that? Why not use what I’ve been given?

So I converted the spare bedroom into a studio. My bedroom—stuffed as it was with two desks and a bed—is now a comfortable private retreat. The new studio has my computer, my writing desk, a drafting table, and a synthesizer. I can now be massively creative in an ideal space.

This strikes me as an improvement.
