Mutt,

I'm not living hand to mouth by any means. But I will say that I was far happier two years ago when I was spending around a five figure lifestyle while making six figures. LOL.

I've hired bargain-priced help before and I've ended up having to do or fix the majority of the work.

I need to hire full or part-time help to handle building sites to my exact spec, and if I don't want them to take what I teach them and go elsewhere then I need to pay them well enough that they stick around.

Making money and saving money are two entirely different things LOL. Imagine what you shoot but spending it out of your pocket (no one pays me a downpayment, I'm re-investing profits). To recoup it, I have to launch these sites on my own...

I haven't overextended myself, but I will say that I probably shot a model or two beyond what I needed to because I wanted to seize the opportunity, and maybe should've put that money towards staffing instead.
