I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! I enjoyed spending it with my family. When I was stationed overseas, I never came home for thanksgiving. When you were in the service, how hard was it being away from your family?

When I joined this community, I honestly wasn’t sure what direction my life was heading. Like many of you, I was looking for purpose, freedom, and a way to create income without breaking my back or depending on the system. What changed everything for me was discovering something simple but powerful: 👉 I didn’t need a “traditional” job to build a meaningful, stable income again. I started learning about online business, and eventually I found dropshipping. At first, I struggled I didn’t know where to begin, what products to sell, or how to set things up properly. But then I partnered with an expert team who helped me build everything correctly from the ground up. And honestly? That one decision gave me a level of peace and confidence I hadn’t felt in years. Now my business runs smoothly, brings in consistent income, and allows me to focus on life, healing, and purpose not stress. It’s been one of the easiest and most flexible paths I’ve taken, especially as someone rebuilding their life. I’m sharing this because I know so many veterans here are looking for: ✔️ A new start ✔️ Income without physical strain ✔️ Something they can grow at their own pace ✔️ A path that brings back confidence and independence If anyone here is curious about how I got started or wants to explore a simple online business they can run from anywhere, I’m more than happy to share what helped me. We’re all rebuilding something. And if my story can help even one person here find their next step then this community is exactly what it’s meant to be.

So how many children and grandchildren do you have? Do you get to see them often or do they live very far from you? I have 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren. But they live very far away and I rarely see them. It is a bummer. That's why I want to retire with enough money to go visit them as much as I want or help them move close to where I live. I am working on some digital marketing but haven't hit it big yet.

So I’ve been running my main business for a while now, and honestly, it’s been doing just fine not perfect, but steady enough to keep things going. A few months ago, a friend of mine suggested I try a side hustle, just to diversify a bit. I gave it a shot, and surprisingly, it’s been doing way better than I expected bringing in around $50,000 monthly. Now I’m in a bit of a dilemma 😅 should I: 1️⃣ Quit my main business and go all in on the side hustle, 2️⃣ Try to juggle both, or 3️⃣ Stick with my main business and drop the side hustle? Would really love to hear your thoughts what would you do in this situation?
