  • Good - I never have to work weekends or holidays (other than finishing a few things i didn’t finish during the week) and i get 8 weeks off in the summer. I have an office but i don’t normally have to go there. Unless i have a meeting or appointment, no one notices if I’m a few minutes late. I drive among about a dozen buildings so i get to see the sun and there’s always an opportunity to grab a drink. I work mostly with kids and some are hilarious! I love my team.

    Bad- Driving and getting in/out of your car all day sucks when it’s hot, cold, or stormy. I haul a lot of things so my car is always a mess. Sometimes i have to work with or for unpleasant adults. Occasionally there’s poop or vomit.




  • I don’t know what you mean by " If you don’t like it, just buy another one." I’ve rented many times and no one has ever said that to me. I don’t understand the context.

    I think you have a narrow view of people who rent out homes. Not everyone is a corporation looking to make millions of dollars. Many are just trying to cover the cost of the home temporarily while they deal with life. My mom sold her home and bought a smaller house a year before she retired. She rented the new home until she was ready to retire and move in. When she had to move to an assisted living apartment, she rented her home to cover the mortgage so she could pay for care. She didn’t sell as she hoped to be able to return to her home. Now that she’s passed, I’ve inherited the home. I’m renting it to cover the mortgage while we make decisions about our own retirement and where we want to live.
