i dont love my job but i love my life with this job. i go in about three days a week. work a total of 10-15 real hours a week. get paid 180k.
work from home the other days
which includes going to gym at 11am, going grocery shopping at 2pm, rvf, bodybuilding forums, and eating
i could make more in another industry if i wanted to work harder. but the truth is is that i dont want to work harder.
where i live 180k aint shit by the way
i live in a 2br/2ba split level apt in the best part of town, but i can't afford a proper house in a desirable location. can't afford luxury vacations multiple times a year. can't afford a lot of shit.
but i have my time!
Sounds like you run some sort of RE fund. $180K not being enough means what NYC? Everywhere else $180K is just fine. Usually around the 3 handle is when life gets easy everywhere (a goal for everyone on the forum).
I do manage a private commercial real estate portfolio, but that isn't included in the salary figure I mentioned. no, i'm the ED of a large-ish non profit in washington DC. about 60 people, $7MM budget.
i got three kids, a baby momma, and an ex wife...that eats up a lot dough. still my joint household income is over $250k and it still doesn't feel like much. no chance we move to a desirable location and have a house, two cars, and private schools.
