Welcome to the Bigger Pocket Show number 628.

Just keep in mind that if you're on this path to quit your job that you need to keep what you're doing in focus.

And keep that scorecard, that running scorecard like people say as an investor you should keep your scorecard of your personal financial statement right so you track your net worth.

I think you should also track your hourly rate like the more money you start to make from side hustles and things you should continue to update that hourly rate.

And kind of keep that in front of you so you can see where you might hit that threshold of like alright it might be time to start thinking about transitioning over from one to the other.

The Bigger Pocket's real estate podcast show is all about keeping you the art of investing in real estate and hopefully achieving financial freedom one day whatever that means for you whether that means quitting your 9-5 job or having an entire portfolio that sustains your lifestyle.

We're here to show you how to do that and I'm joined here by my good friend and co-host Henry Washington. How you doing man?

Tangible things that they could do to kind of move towards that path what were some of your favorite parts about today show.

So I really really enjoyed talking about some of the the unsexy things with quitting your job that people don't talk about right everybody talks about all the fun stuff right like you get all this time and then you can take that time and you can make a bunch more money and then you're going to be this multi millionaire and it's super awesome.

But people don't tell you about some of the ugly stuff some of the expensive stuff like taxes suck and so you need to be prepared for and yeah health insurance is expensive and you need to have that as well that was a well time call if I like that health insurance call.

I keep muting myself every time I talk about this job man.

Yeah but but all these things are things people need to be aware of as they prepare for this this part of their journey in their life and so I love that we were able to touch on some of those things that like people don't talk about in 15 second videos on Instagram.
