I sometimes daydream about being laid off so I can pivot full time to my side hustle but the fear of not having healthcare terrorizes me and fills me with so much anxiety

They say fear is the biggest difference between successful and happily successful. Can you share what your side hustle is? Mine is finding and selling classic cars. Took that leap a couple of years ago. It's been tough at times but I'm having a blast. So much happier and feeling fulfilled. Do it!

Do you have at least 6 months salary in the bank?

What’s the side hustle!

It’s almost November (open enrolment for healthcare) btw so I’d say it’s perfect time if you are considering that jump

Um…that’s literally why the government is shut down rn. Insurance premiums are double without the ACA subsidies.

So curious about your hustle!!

i did this and it was successful (could pay my bills) during covid, but lack of consumer confidence, rising overhead costs and tariffs squeezed me out and now i’m back on the ad game. it was a good 6 years! never worked so hard in my life. it depends on what your side hustle is though.

Was it difficult for you to reenter the ad game when the time came?
