RE: The Old Dog Presents: The Unique Among Us!

in #travel7 years ago

Ask yourself." what hobbies do I have that make me happy? How can I turn a small yet sustainable life from these hobbies? Then slowly transition towards that goal and minimize your hours at work as you are able to substitute your pay.
You will feel much better about yourself and even other people after a while!

Sort:  

That's very good advice. I have a lot of hobbies and some of them could be profitable. I'm actually working on a couple of my own very small business ventures right now but with how much I work at my regular job it's going to take a long time to get them off the ground.

Is there a way you could request 1 extra day off a week and still be able to support yourself?

Financially it would be feasible to work 4 days per week and earn 80% of what I do now from my regular job as I live well within my means. My car is paid off and the only debt that I don't have paid off is my mortgage on my house.

From the employer side of it...I'd have to find a different job as my company expects people to be there 5 days per week unless we're taking vacation time.

But yes that's sort of what I plan on doing eventually is working less hours per week at a corporate job while I transition to making more money from side businesses. It's not going as quickly as I want it to though lol.

Sounds like us writing our blogs on Steemit!

Exactly like that!
