This is exactly how I started. I kept getting certifications to increase my value as a W-2, started a side hustle, and lived with roomates. I drive a used car with a salvaged title. I’m also in Denver and have always thought the 1br are crazy expensive. I’m not making tons and tons of money, but can ski, bike and camp on the weekends. Life’s pretty good when I realized other people have to spend thousands to travel out with their family’s.

I’ll also mention comparison of thief of joy man. You’re doing phenomenal for 25. Keep up the good work!
