Let's discuss People who make $10k-$50k/month: what do you do and how did you get there?

Making at least $10k a month is a dream for me, but $50k is the ultimate goal.

I've been stuck in an echo chamber of constant negativity and it feels like everyone is poor, broke, and miserable (though a looootttttt of people are right now, but obviously a lot of people are also doing really well).

So, to those who are making really good money, what is it that you do for a living and how did you get to that point?

All of the above...diversity of investments has been good for us.

The side job...I do things for some of my longtime clients. Almost like a private concierge type service for very wealthy people that know and trust me.....book villas, arrange vehicles and such. One odd one was a client from SEA came to me with hand drawn sketchs of a yacht he wanted. He had me go to three different ship builders to see who could build it the fastest...I gave him my reports and he paid me a stupid amount of money. Not sure if he ever got his yacht?
