I left my 9-5pm job of almost 10 years in Feb 2023 because any zombie could have done that job and my mind was becoming one. I was bored of doing that monkey job per se. 8 years ago I started buying fourplexes in AZ because I wanted to quit corporate America and wanted to replace my income with rent income. I was working for something meaningful and I was enjoying the process. As soon as I purchased my first Fourplex there was a shift that changed me and I wanted to do this full time. I saw the potential of rental income and a few years later I saw the potential of appreciation and what could you do with that. Fast forward to March 2023 a month after leaving my 9-5 I had replaced twice my corporate America income with rental income, it felt awesome, it felt like I had ran a marathon for almost 10 years and finished it, it felt great, and it felt like I could do more things that I wanted to do. It all started because I had written a goal that I wanted to buy a Fourplex every year… I no longer work 40 hours per week but only work less than 1 hour to do property management admin for all my 26 rental units. I no longer wake up at 4am, I don’t have to. Sometime I wake up at 7am and it feels fucking great. I enjoy my newborn 4month old baby boy, I spend the most precious time with him seeing him grow because time flies, you’re literally seeing time passing when you see him grow, unreal. Sometimes I scroll through Twitter X right after I wake up, I’ve never did that working from 9-5pm because then everything falls out of place and then you’re running late to go to the gym, no time to meditate, no time for coffee, no time to take a cold plunge in a bathtub, no time for the wife, you get the point. Being free from a 9-5pm is a form of freedom and a superpower that goes beyond being tied to a job, you’re mind runs free to pursue what you want, you read books 📚 you wanted to read for a long time, you spend more time with your wife, kids, you call your family and other relatives, you call your parents more often, sometimes you book a flight to see your family, parents or brothers or a best friend. Being free also gives you the option to pursue other projects you wanted to take on that really are important to you and I think this is the most important being able to pursue what you want to do. It could be teaching others to do something, build something, explore a place, being with family, travel, focus on health and mind, finding yourself. Being free is the best feeling ever. Being able to pursue and work on what you want makes you feel great and makes you better.
