Fat Bastard

It does exist my man. In my 20s I absolutely crushed. 65-70 hour work weeks for 10 years. On a plane 3 days a week appraising senior housing for REITS, Banks and private funds in almost all 50 States (licensed in 15 of them)

Missed two of my friends weddings, my grandmothers funeral and more family events than you can imagine.

It was a terrible path I was on.

Now I work 20-30 hours a week and make triple what I made as a commercial real estate appraiser.

Working smart > Working Hard

I will admit that working like that in my 20s put me way ahead in life but I still have so many regrets from that time period. Now, I will never miss a single family event and when I have kids I will have time to be an actual father figure vs a man that just makes money.

We do agree that real estate has been the shiznit though.
