I have a great W2 job that's pretty recession proof (I'm not in tech) and we have a shortage of workers and hiring - there are people losing their jobs, homeless people in Bay Area, people having to go back to work at age 72 as a cashier (I know this person) because their Social Security payment aren't enough to keep up with cost of living, so I'm thankful for my job.

I hope you like smokers, because they all smoke like chimneys and have no regard for flicking butts on your property....eventually my parents went on a trip and of course the sober house people had a perfect view of them loading up their luggage, and what ya know after 25 years of not a single crime...they were burglarized, by a homeless junky ******* that was friends of one of the residents or was a previous resident....The sober house operators were ******** and not cooperative....their are more than a few of their patients were loud obnoxious gang banger types, giving the hard stares and intimidation types of attitude.Lastly.... on more a general note... the affordable health care act made some seriously horrible changes to the way insurance can deal with addictions....it used to be that their was a limit to how many sober claims a patient could make, and then the insurance company turned off the tap....now, a patient can relapse as much as they want and the insurance has to allow them back into another sober program...it essentially incentivizes the sober programs to fail, because it assures them a steady flow of repeat customers.Lastly, I found the few sober house operators that I came into contact with, during this time, to be vile phony insurance fraudsters and street urchins, acting like their title made them actual healthcare providers.Just my 2c...and sincerest apologies to the 10%(if that) of the industry that are a really providing a quality and ethical service.

There’s essentially two schools of thoughtThe first is that any W2 money you will get is insignificant to business net worth so you should be spending all your time on your business even if it means you have to be homeless.
