Maybe run a storage facility or be a landlord. Running a storage facility sounds like the best option.

Lol, this is me right here.

I might touch 6 figs this year, next year for sure. I live cheap as hell, but don't have a house. I don't think I can do it in 10 years, kids cost too much, but I should be ok in 20 years.

Nah I accepted long ago that I was a rat in the race so I just try to make more money while traveling as much as I want and enjoying life outside of work as much as possible SRS

This. You usually go from being a bish to your employer (who you can change), to being a bish to your clients where the hussle never stops because your next bread depends on it.

Kinda lol to sit in meetings and hear some fuked up situation develop and leave knowing you still get paid no matter the outcome.

If you can't handle me when I'm incel, you don't deserve me when I'm chad

I have already put my exit plan into motion...

Although I am technically not on that 9-5 grind.... I have no set hours and can come or go as I please as long as the projects I am assigned are completed on or before schedule...

But what I am really growing tired of is making somebody else millions of dollars when I could be doing it for myself. Just took me a long time to not only realize it but work myself into a situation where I feel comfortable making the transition slowly so it doesnt affect my families day to day.
