Escaing the Rat Race Question

Hello BP Community!

I am looking for some advice here. I currently am 50% partners in 4 duplexes. I am 24 years old, I am a car salesman and make great money for the time being. My boss just extended sales hours, adding 2-4 more hours per week on top of an already heavy schedule. I have a daughter due in July and I would love to spend more time with her abs my wife when the time comes. Should I transition out of my sales job and take a pay cut for more family time? Or should I grind out a few more years and make as money money as possible to build my real estate empire. Thoughts? Thanks for reading!

    Hi Anthony,

    Cash is king!

    New babies are awake around the clock and sleep around the clock, meaning your family will be there when you get home.

    Wait until you have to buy diapers and baby formula and then re-asses if you want to make LESS money.

    Good Luck!
