Totally get where you’re coming from. For me, it was a mix of tightening my spending and figuring out ways to actually grow my income — not just grind harder. What helped the most was partnering with Eboost Partners for a side hustle idea I had. They kinda helped me turn it from “random gig” to something structured and profitable. I still budget like crazy, but once I had that extra stream of income, everything moved way faster.
