Thank you @AlexanderMoen — I hadn't noticed I had sent the Portuguese version of the text. Here is the English version:
I guess there was no real need to mention that I'm from Brazil. I only did it in an attempt to get more attention and hopefully receive more replies.
As I said, I'm 21 years old, I still live with my parents, and I earn the equivalent of one minimum wage, approximately $314.76 per month. I don't have many fixed expenses, and my job gives me a few hours of free time every day (which allows me to work on my skills and start my projects).
By the end of this year, I plan to move out and live on my own (I'm currently building an emergency fund), because I feel that it would help me mature, focus more on my projects, and gain some privacy (I feel that the lack of privacy holds me back from starting certain things).
The funny thing is that I don't even know what I'll tell my parents when I finally decide to leave. They probably won't understand, since in Brazil it's common for children to move out only after getting engaged/married or when going to college or taking a job in another city.
My goal before the end of the year is to find a way to generate recurring income online before I move out, so I won't need to get a traditional job in the new city and can fully dedicate myself to pursuing the Fastlane.
I'm new here and have spent the last few days reading posts on the forum. One of them was a post by @IceCreamKid, which made me wonder whether I should focus on building something in the digital business space, or whether it would be smarter to start a local business first and later, if I choose to, move into more scalable digital businesses.
Well, if I decide to start a local service business, I could always use the excuse that I'm moving to another city to attend a technical course or something similar.
With that said, here are the questions of a young aspiring entrepreneur:
1. Should I move out or not? Does living alone in another city make a meaningful difference?
2. If I do decide to leave, what excuse should I give my parents? I can already imagine comments like, "You're an adult, you don't need an excuse, just go." But I don't have any problems or conflicts with them, so I feel that having a good reason would be the best way to keep them from worrying.
3. Should I focus on local businesses or digital businesses?
I am translating this post using AI because my English is not very good, so some parts may not come across exactly as I intended.
If anything in this post is unclear or difficult to understand, please let me know, and I will do my best to explain what I meant.
