Trading $10K of 150K means you really need to earn $13k - $15K pre tax. That’s most of our travel budget that’s not offset by rental income (see below). For grocery shopping, if I actually did work outside of the home, it would be a simple matter of using Instacart and drive up to the grocery store after work to pick up the groceries. Occasionally, if I’m out, my wife will order groceries and I will swing by and pick them up. Meal prep? Before we moved, we had a friend who was a professional chef and we would occasionally pay her to do meal prep. I’m sure we could find someone here. Housecleaning? There are plenty of services you can call. The only other errands I run on a regular basis are haircuts, manicures and pedicures (something that. Lot of men don’t do) and doctors appointments. Funny enough though, I live in a unit of a condotel that we own (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/condotel.asp https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/condotel.asp). It is a 2/2 with a full kitchen, living room and washer dryer, everything came with it. We pay $800 a month for the HOA that covers everything - electric, water, minor maintenance, internet, part of the insurance, someone comes in every other day to change the trash. When we decide to leave for an extended period of time, the property management company rents it out and we get half the income - we just pack up our stuff in suitcases. When we are here, we can schedule a full cleaning for $80. My wife hasn’t worked since 2020 - I “retired her”. She has her passion projects that keeps her busy and brings in some pocket money for her. But it does help when it comes to things like going to get the car fixed, following up with various things, doing some of the arrangements for our crazy traveling schedule etc. and she does 100% of the cooking which we don’t do that much.
