After my last business ran its course, I'm now left with a somewhat large nest egg that could last me maybe a year or two. It feels like such a different experience running on a nest egg with zero net income versus having a stable 9-5 in case your business ventures don't pan out. I've never had a stable 9-5 and started this business out of highschool basically.

Some people would relax if they had a year or two of liveable nest egg to work off of, but for me, it's stressing me out.

Is there any business that isn't too capital intensive and I can reasonably start up in a year or two? I'm really interested in basically the highest percentage success, but probably highly time intensive business (since time is the trade off when choosing high odds of success businesses). Like a self-employed type of deal, just so I can get the financial haunting off my back without getting a $10/hr job given I'm 21 and don't have a college degree. Thoughts?
