So, I understand you are not supposed to broadcast you're overemployed. I think that most overemployed people aren't showing off their extra income, but working towards their personal goal.

What is your personal goal? Purchasing a home, preparing for a family, or retiring early?

I'm looking forward to leaving the corporate world and be my own boss!

For me it’s been a little bit of doing my own business on the side and saving that extra income. Not sure I’ll be able to retire early but hopefully I can save as much as possible over the next couple decades to feel financially secure. I like the idea of having my own business one day, maybe a consultative practice. I don’t know if I ever fully want to retire from using my brain to bring in income.

Excellent point! At some point, I will retire from J1, but continue with J2 to stay active and keep my grey matter busy, but it would also allow a lot more opportunities to travel.

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
