Should I continue? (alien.top)

I’m almost 2 years into my social media management and photography business.

I like the freedom but I already feel unmotivated about my business (this is a typical pattern of my life).

Profit was very good at the beginning, but very decreased now. No question as to why: because I simply don’t put enough effort and work into my practice. I don’t make enough outreach, etc. but I simply find it hard to put myself out there. I feel unmotivated..

Help!

Based on the post, how do you have enough cash / income to even qualify for an apartment without W2 + paystubs for income?

What’s your retirement situation looking like without a 401k?

Is it even possible to take vacations since you don’t have PTO?

What are you doing about healthcare on the private market?

Sounds like you would be a in a far better position currently if you found a decent job with benefits.

Lots of abbreviations I don’t know here. But I’ll try to answer my best :)

I have an Airbnb side business that covers the basics. But I have been living (pleasures, food, etc.) out of my savings as well.
Retirement situation unknown atm. In my country we get xxx monthly as an elderly, but I haven’t saved much up yet
I work remote and bring my work with me on vacations
Healthcare is free in my country
