    A true hustler. For her to be able to build an interior design business in 2 years while working a 9-5 says a lot about her work ethic. Whats also interesting is her and her husband were able to buy a home for 675k and a piece of land for 450k so financially it seems like they are already set. The cost of building their dream home will probably be another 500k so all in that dream home with land cost will be over 1 mil. The surrounding homes around that vacant land seem like mansions too.
    What im saying is it doesnt even seem like she needs to do the side gig but shes a go-getter and want more out of life. A very smart woman. Inspiring!

    She’s on the right track for the most part, except for that vacant lot. At her age with her young family, she cannot be sinking money for years without a return. She really should be investing that money now, either in a rental or at least in a stock index fund to get 8-9% annual returns. Do that for another 15 years and she’ll be much better prepared to build the dream house when she’s 50 with kids in high school.

The Business had revenue of 400k, but much of that revenue has to go to pay architects, designers, etc which explains why she only paid herself 37k from that business.

      I hear what you’re saying but I find it inspiring watching videos about people who have jobs which pay extremely well. I don’t earn 6 figures but if I was aware of some of these highly paid jobs before I went to uni then I would be on a different career path right now. I like the fact that these videos show us that normal people like us can earn great incomes if they study the right course and put in the work.

    Kind of clickbait-ish, she doesn't really make $400K on a side hustle. Total revenue is not the same as net revenue or take home pay.

      stop crying, when Amazon releases their earning reports, do you dive deep into what their net revenue is? Most of these videos are about how much they bring in from their jobs, why don't you ask for the net-income? silly rabbit lol

      Well it says she brings in $400k. It also says that she paid herself about $30k from that business. She’s doesn’t have any major overheads so I would guess she is profitable.

    If she is doing so well and her student loan is 173 k why can’t she pay that off instead of it being forgiven??? Her job is funded through the tax payer .
