I had a secure federal job, but I knew I didn’t want to stay forever.
My first Airbnb brought in $5,000 in its first month. After about $2,000 in expenses, I had $3,000 left.
That changed the question for me. I stopped asking how to survive the job and started asking how many units I’d need to replace it.
I reached 10 units, and 15 months after starting, I quit the federal government.
