Why does it feel like everyone around me is rich but I’m over here working extra jobs just to get by. Maybe it’s just social media and people are overspending??

You are doing an amazing job. Be nice to yourself, love yourself and always hang in there! What comes from hard work and dedication is something much better than money could ever buy. And remember, don't believe everything you see on social media.

Thank you for the kind words 🥹

Yup, I feel this in my bones. I’m working two gigs too and it’s rough. It’s so easy to feel behind in today’s world. You’re doing what you need to survive, and that’s strength. Do you ever take breaks from it when it starts to feel like too much?

I do! My side gig is flexible so I try not to burn myself out if I can help it. I def have gotten close though..

Most people life beyond their means. You never truly know someone’s financial situation.

I live in Newport Coast, CA and you would drive around thinking we’re all worth 20m+ but I know 50% of these guys are month to month with everything financed to the max.

I guess it’s all smoke and mirrors. I’m grateful that I’m not living paycheck to paycheck but it’s not easy.

I completely understand that feeling. Many people only showcase the best parts of their lives, so it might seem like their financial situation is better than it really is, especially on social media. You're definitely not alone in needing to do extra jobs just to stay afloat. I'm guessing many of us here are in the same situation.

People lie, because no one wants to hears how bad it is because then everyone has to admit how bad it is. No one wants to work with an unsuccessful partner nor spend money on goods or services full of complaints or baggage.

I am considering investing in an early stage startup. I know the founders for many years and are more like family to me. I will be investing $100K with a convertible note.

They are valued at $5M by a startup accelerator and received $50K as part of being admitted into the program. Contd.

Additional Posts in Side Gigs

Anyone here know of a wholesaler that supplies bottles like this? I've checked Alibaba, Thomasnet, and various other sites, but not much luck. I can't currently fulfill anything above 500 bottles and most suppliers I've come across have a minimum of 1000 or more. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Anyone trade stocks on the side? Not at a day trading level, but not buy-and-hold either...more like aim to hold 5-10 stocks at a time for 1-2 months and earn a decent short-term profit (10-15%).
