I've been very limited in what I can do atm. The next couple of months my spare cash is being used for a tattoo on my back. I go for the line work Thursday and then on Feb 14th the color work, so my cash on hand is very limited at this time. I may very well purchase an epilator next month if I can find a decent one for a decent price (no more than $140.00) as well because I am a strong advocate for attacking an issue from multiple fronts. But due to a $200 a month outlay for medications I am often limited to what I can do money wise (I am disabled so my income is not fluid). My chest, face, arms and pubic area are the most pressing issues for me but money severely limits what I can afford to do.

My primary concern is my face and chest. My arm, and leg hair is shaveable for the time being and my armpit hair can be dealt with as needed as well. My face however... I have a multi tone beard, dark and white hairs scattered all over the place so electro is likely to be my only long term permanent solution, but it is also one that is markedly out of my price range on a regular basis. So I will only be able to afford to do it in small sections at a time over time. Thus the use of the IPL to maintain a longer duration smoothness.

My current living situation is... well lets just say it's not conducive to me totally feminizing as much as I would like to. I can get away with work on my face, even my chest but risk issues if I do anything else (I live with a severe homophobe and avowed trans hater and currently don't have the ability or funds to move). I can't even sleep in clothing i'd prefer to sleep in for fear my room will be invaded and what I am wearing revealed. I risk homelessness in that case so for now I simply endure what I have to and work towards my goals one day at a time.

I am having the Eagle tattood across my shoulders and back. It represents my acceptance of who I am, and the freedom my eventual transition will bring.
