Comment on 35-year-old brings in around $60,000 a year and lives rent-free by pet sitting full time—everything they own fits in 2 suitcases

Honestly that kind of sounds awesome to me.

I mean obviously it sucks if they’re forced to do it but I love pet sitting, I enjoy seeing where people live, and I’ve never felt the need to be tied anywhere. If they’re happy let em be.

Holding them up as an example of sigma grind or whatever obviously sucks but it in and of itself doesn’t sound half bad to me.

This sounds like fucking hell, I can’t see a way this works without having to work 7 days a week or being hobo-sexual

Listen I love dogs, but this is some peasant type shit. 2 suit cases being everything you own? Yeah, I’d like to practice nonattachment to this level, but I doubt you’re finding nirvana doing this. There’s no way this is done outside a major metro.

  In 2025, Stoever traveled to 10 countries while running their business, Traveler Charly Money Coaching, through which they provide clients guidance for paying down debt, building credit and saving for retirement. Six months of private money coaching, which includes biweekly hourlong calls, costs $6,000. Last year, the business brought in a little less than $60,000. Stoever takes home less than that after business expenses and taxes, but supplements their income with the occasional paid pet-sitting gig (most of the ones they take are in exchange for free accommodation) and performances at a queer burlesque.
  
  Sounds like they roped ~10 clients into their personal financial thing, and that’s where all the dough came from. “Pet sitting” is just their pleasant term for “couch surfing”.
