residential* Have fat fingers this morning 

It's going to be a long read, but I'll try to trim the fat as much as possible.Right out of high school, I got a full-time job.

There was no silver bullet and it involved a lot of graft, hustling, networking, original content creation, online advertising, referral chasing, excellent customer service and much more besides. 

The challenge in southern CA is Hispanic nepotism, La Raza movement is alive and well, or not speaking Manderin Chinese, its increasingly a requirement sadly.So yeah, I won't quit looking for the right opportunity in sales, like solar, or getting a cushy government job with benefits, but the private sector has a big fat target on human labor due largely in part to the Affordable Care Act requirements.

I'm just starting out in my career in commercial real estate (corporate gig) and my pockets aren't fat enough (yet) to start buying my own properties.

Must have fat-fingered that one.

This is especially true when you're cleaning up plates in the sink, and chunks of food are sitting in the Disposall grinder, but you haven't turned it on yet; the water piles up in the grinder and then runs down the dishwasher drain connection.If whatever is going down the sink already smells funky, then the funk will transfer to the dishwasher; if it's something like a chunk of fat or meat that works its way into the dishwasher, it might smell OK now, but get funky after it sits for a while. 

More info is that I have my escrow check coming (7K) and a nice fat bonus from work coming at around 14K!

ESS told us to “just do our best,” and that was a collective big fat NO. 

With my income soon to be at 3x my expenses I am looking forward to a life of Fat FIRE starting in 2020.
