My opinion has changed with my age and stage in life.  

. #2, the work-life balance is great and I technically only work half the year and while at work I have a ton of down time.

I haven’t even mentioned when huge influxes of people come to Vegas for events like life is beautiful (downtown), EDC( up north, so I’m closer then any strip hotel).

Life is a financial struggle and I am doing fine as long as I live below my means.

The owner’s wife decided he needed to get a life and retire from owning the property so he could travel the world with her and live closer to their son in Washington.

However I'm not satisfied with what I have in life.

  - Generate $5k in monthly income within the 5 years.My ultimate goal is to create a portfolio of cash flow positive real estate investments to:- Help my father retire so that he can travel with my mother, enjoy life, and discover new hobbies and passions.- Allow me to make jewelry because it's my passion, not my passion that pays the bills- Free up my time to pursue travel and my interest in martial arts. 

Might end up going for a live in flip but we will see where life takes me on that one.

Have you ever thought about retiring early, traveling, and living your best life now?

I've heard rumor of it's existence but haven't had any luck finding one in real life (and I've called at least 15 banks & credit unions).
