I am a single (well, have a girlfriend but not married) guy with no kids and a dog. I currently live in a 3BR 2.5BA house. I bought this house 3 years ago when I was still within the confines of the slowlane mindset. I am selling my house to move in to an apartment with my girlfriend. Doing so will decrease my living expenses $20-30k / year. All of this money will fund my business while I maintain my current 9-5 or will be saved to a point where I can leave my 9-5 and have enough savings to live and commit all of my time to my business. My current income is at the very bottom of 6 figures.
None of my friends or family understand why I am selling my house. I have received several lectures from my parents on why they think this is a bad idea. They are boomers and still paying off a mortgage. None of my friends actively agree with me on the move either. I know they're all wrong because they're all slowlaners and live inside the typical American Dream box. The only person who fully supports this decision is my girlfriend. She is of the fastlane and entrepreneurial mindset like myself.
Does anyone else have experience with this? My mind keeps going back to Gary Vee and Andy Frisella. Gary talks a lot about how too many people will never chase their dream because they are chained to their homes that they dont need and only have to impress other people that do not care. Andy talks about how no one will support you during your journey, but will say "I always believed in you" when you succeed. These two guys and what they preach is helping me sticky to my guns on selling the home.
Does anyone else have any similar stories or advice on downsizing to fund their business? I'm really just LAMPing for some validation
