Hi ! I'm super torn and this undecision leads to procrastination to other areas of my life.
I figure why not seek advise from the great minds here.
So for context, I'm a recent graduate and just got a job three months ago but (thanks to TMF and Unscripted book it opened my mind to new possiblities) I'm planning to start my business on the side.
Since I'm from Asia I'll just convert the amounts in $ for easy reference.
My salary is around $700-$1000/ month (base pay plus commission so it varies)
Our office is 2 hours away from our home, but we're allowed to work from home now.
If I were to move out and live in that city near our office, it would cost me probably around $300+ (rent, food, etc)
For starter, I also figure it would be easier to start an agency offering lead gen service since this is also related to my work and it would be easier to sell to those businesses who needs more client.
I love the idea of moving away from my hometown and living on my own but the list of expenses stops me. Because I'm also wondering if I can just save those extra $$ to buy a starting property (house hacking - live on one unit and rent out the rest). It would take me about 1 year to save for downpayment tho.
So I'm torn between just staying home (work from home while building my agency) where my expenses is just around $100 and use the bulk of my salary to building my business. **My employer just wanted us to go to office here and there so it's okay to WFH**
Or move out ASAP. Face the unknown and pressure. Live on my own. Be expose to the world, as MJ also suggested on the book.
I'm overthinking over this stuff.
If you were in my shoes. What would you choose?
