Am I crazy to let my lease expire, put my things in storage and just air bnb/pay for weekend nights at hotels for the next year? I love my place but feel like I'm just throwing money away

You should be buying your own place, furnish it accordingly and rent it out on Airbnb during the week and use it yourself on weekends. That way, you’re actually making a bit of a profit on your own investment.

I do this except most weekends I end up visiting friends or family. It’s not something you can do forever, but I wanna give it a year (been 5 months).

I did it for 3 years. If you don’t mind the vagabond life it’s an amazing way to save money. I rented out my house and stayed with friends, family, or at my client site on the weekends.

How you liking it so far A1?

I know a consultant who chose to get a trailer and camp across the country with his family. They love it. And when I say “camp,” I mean he’s got a custom 5th wheel.

Buy a tiny house and park it behind your mom’s house. Drag it wherever if you meet a nice girl in a different city. Drag it back to mom’s when you break up 😜

I kept my stuff at my mom’s for the first 5 years and saved money. I was never home but would switch out my check in suitcase every month when I visited her

Oh lawd... Did you read someone's blog??

So back in July I went out for a new position at my small company that was rapidly expanding (Account Manager). Was notified that I didn't get the full promotion but was told instead that I was still moving up and was going to be Customer Service/Account Manager Support. The new Account Manager had no customer service experience within our niche industry. I instead had to help help him with all customer service issues.

I feel like I am being taken advantage of. ADVISE APPRECIATED.
