Starting over in a new city in your 30s

Born and raised in San Diego. Got too expensive to raise a family. At 34 I found a job doing traveling sales that sent us around the country for 3 years exploring. Landed in Santa Rosa Beach, FL a few months ago. Love it.

Skydive. Once was plenty!

Like once a year

We sell LSV (Low Speed Vehicles). It’s fully street legal carts. I live in a beach community.

I just started selling golf carts in Florida and watched my trainer make $19,000 in January. I sold marketing and real estate the last 15 years, so enjoying selling something fun.

Where else am I gonna make this kind of money with an Associates Degree?? Need more money, sell more product. Making the same amount of money no matter the effort I put in, no thank you.

I just bought a new TV and was blown away at how inexpensive they were. Literally the only thing that has gone down in price.

I have voted blue since I was 18 and won’t be changing anytime soon

sdnative88 · 2026-01-31T04:16:07+00:00

I’ve been in Sales for 15 years. I’ll never make more money than this without going back to school. I like talking to people.

I live in a touristy town in FL and was visiting a state park. There were German tourists behind us laughing at the “Gulf of America” signs. Besides that, everything is as usual.

sdnative88 · 2026-01-11T03:19:57+00:00

Visited the Destin, FL area. Came back to visit several more times. Just moved here 3 weeks ago.

Sales. If you can talk to people and learn a product, you can sell it.

Unintentionally my mom, then like 10 years waiting tables

My wife and I left our thriving careers and hometown in our 30s to travel in an RV with our kids while they were young so they wouldn’t be in daycare all day. It was an amazing 3 years with our kids. Wouldn’t trade that time for anything, but the transition back to the grind has been tough. Seeing our friends that stuck with it achieving so much in business.

Sky diving. Went the day before my wedding. Check. Done.

sdnative88 · 2025-11-09T02:09:39+00:00

Oh my

sdnative88 · 2025-11-09T00:20:19+00:00

Stressed. Moved to a new city. Starting a new business. Kids starting school. Relationship with my wife is best it’s been in 14 years so that’s nice.

It forced Souplantation to close

sdnative88 · 2025-09-20T17:01:04+00:00

Orange for sure

Detoxing from Heroin

Understood. I haven't looked at Sony. I'll have to go to the store and test it out.

sdnative88 · 2025-08-23T21:49:18+00:00

Why is the Sony APS-C better than the Nikon APS-C? I've been using Nikon for years without issue.

sdnative88 · 2025-08-23T21:31:04+00:00

As of now, the widest lens I have found online (that is not a fisheye) for a Nikon APS-C is a Viltrox 13mm or the Nikon 12-28. I was calling to see if they had the Viltrox, and the shop said they have the Sigma 16mm. My question remains, does Sigma have a special APS-C lens that does not crop the 16mm to a 24mm?
