Hello guys so i am caught up in a dilemma here. Three months ago i joined my local reia and i have learned so much about investing from the meet ups although i had prior knowledge before attending the meet ups, i needed to get some networking going because as we all know, this is a relationship business. This reia has helped me so much . i have team up with a broker and an agent and i have started submitting offers on properties through my agent. However,my job is holding me back. I asked my job if it will be possible that i leave work 30 mins earlier on tuesdays when the group meets up and they declined this request. However i have been doing it for the past two months without consent but i was finally told i cant do it anymore. My job is not my only source of income so i was thinking that i quit and be able to attend these meet ups because these meet ups have really helped me a ton. I have learned a lot and expanded my knowledge base my great measure. Any suggestions?

I would agree with Jeremy about leaving your job. Why don't you ask if the meet up can start 30 mins later or tell your employer that you will come in 30 mins earlier to keep the same amount of hours if that is possible.
