I'll be honest... I miss the hustle and the social interaction.
Right now, I'm FI but building a career in real estate. It usually takes a while, and though I have paying clients now and am networking like a fiend... it's still gonna take time. I'm also potentially joining a startup as a cofounder, but my equity is small and my tasks will be project based (and largely centered around customer acquisition).
A few years ago, I worked at Starbucks and had the time of my life. I was hustling then - had 4-5 side jobs going at once, raking in $3-4K a month. I miss those days. And I feel like as much as I do now... I'm still sitting on my ass too much. I am highly driven and I've learned that the more things I have going on, the more productive I am. When I have too much idle time, it starts to affect my relationships... I start to get needy and I don't like it.
So... thoughts on getting back into Starbucks? I used to open 4x a week and actually didn't mind it. Plus I'd get some hours in when nobody is really trying to get in touch with me anyway (5am-9am on weekdays, 5am-11 or 12 on weekends).
After 90 days, they'll match 401K contributions, which I'll set to 50% of my paycheck (the max). I also contribute to a SEP with my real estate commissions.
The other half of my paycheck? Probably throw it into investments or use it to pay down the mortgage on rental #3.
Thoughts? I'm 25 and feel like I need to hustle more.
