Hi all! Fresh join here working through the book and familiarizing myself with the CRM today for MFS! Christian reached out to me in 2024 and of course - I waited, to which he said this sentence: "The only thing I can guarantee about starting is delaying it will only bring regret" Indeed it did! I nuked all my 30k in savings I worked very hard to build up for years over the last 7 months cause I was ineligible for unemployment and could not find work despite being in tech in a tech city and having high praise and a good resume. I applied to whole foods and hope I get a simple role there like in college. The job market sucks out there folks! Trust me, I'm elbows deep in job hunting circles and nationwide it's horrendous. Economic depression here we come! I cannot stress this enough: I have no money. My wife is holding down our household with her salary and I feel like a bit of a failure of a man. We went from two cushy tech jobs to fighting to keep a single shared car household afloat month to month with some small family borrowing. This has to work, I am now completely and utterly committed. If I could just get $2500 a month net within the next 6 months - it would be life changing right about now. Immediate goal: $2500/mo net cash flow into my pocket within within 6 months (by Christmas...ideally a hell of a lot sooner) Slight stretch goal: The same as above but $4-5k to feel like I still have somewhat of a "salary". 1st Long term goal: $10k/mo net cash flow within 2 years (again, ideally sooner). If anyone in the Pittsburgh area (or anyone that knows anyone here) would be willing to share a friendly coffee/beer/lunch to chat I've got local connections, a couple friends that do real estate multifamily and flips, a hell of a professional network in tech, and probably fairly easy access to some capital. Did I mention I'm willing to go total full time on this and be boots on the ground and learn? I'm very coachable.
