Quote From: candaceThank you for your suggestion that I should talk with family or friends, the ones that understand are either single like myself and might have also worked on comission. I don't really feel that I'm working for the money. I forgot to tell you that I live 22 miles from Washington DC and it is very expensive. I live in a upper middle class neighborhood. The stress is from not knowing week to week what I will make, comission is very hard to live on. I hear people with two incomes coming
into a household weekly and I don't understand that I feel you just need a budget. I can't budget when I don't know what I'm making. My family does not understand. They have a different life from me there both marrried with children.
You say that you've been doing real estate for a while now, but you still don't make enough to support yourself? I'm confused, I am also getting into the real estate business and also live 20min north of DC and I'm hoping to make a great deal of money doing that.. Do you work in DC? Because I think thats where your problem is. You need to go to Howard, montgomery cty or even VA to make a great deal of money with real estate. I am divorced and have no children so I am right now living pay check to pay check, so I know how hard it is. But you should be making enough not to work 80hrs a week and be able to work from home as well if. If you've been in the real estate business for several years you should have the knowledge and skill to balance your work and money to not be so stressful. Good luck, M
