ServingFI

Join me on my journey to financial independence from a WAITERS perspective. I hope to inspire others in the restaurant industry to take action now.

Current F.U. money total is 37,568.95…it makes me more confident to stand up for myself and more relaxed at work. I take a little out of every nights tips to add to the total. It’s a game for me. …This is not a flex. This is possible for a small town waiter.

A Marvel movie and a chocolate shake is how I decompress on a Saturday night now a days…come along way from binging on drugs and alcohol…

Getting shit from my boss unfortunately on a somewhat regular basis is all the motivation I need to stay motivated and stay the course on the journey towards FI….One day I’ll thank him

60% Savings rate for our family in June. Still blows my mind.

[ServingFI @ServingFI]

Officially below 60k left on our mortgage. I’m gonna be a waiter in my early 40s with a debt free life.

My May 2021 Income and Side Hustle Report is up on the blog.

Just want to give a shout out to jerk who called back the restaurant to complain he couldn’t get a take out until 7pm because the kitchen had to put out two parties and a wedding during service. Fuck you buddy! Just another reason to achieve FI.

Had a wonderful day with my girls. Feeling like the proudest and happiest dad. Very grateful.

Hit a honey hole garage sale this morning. Found 120 Classic rock LPs for .50 each. Gonna flip flip flip and enjoy rocking them out as well.

I’m motivated by freedom and happiness and all that but I’m also motivated by anger, fear and anxiety. They don’t seem to be highlighted as much in the FI journey.

Sunday funday. I give myself this day to recharge and enjoy family time at home. No thoughts of waiting tables and not many thoughts of side hustle. At times I have to remind myself to be at ease when I’m at rest.

[ServingFI @ServingFI]

I’m happiest when I’m disciplined. I think I’ll be happy when I eat junk, be lazy, buy dumb shit, or smoke a cig but that all just makes me feel worse…discipline really does equal freedom

Mental health and physical health are to often ignored in this business.

@DavySTUN Hi it was graded PSA 10 at purchase. Went up that much in just under a year

[ServingFI @ServingFI]

Flipped a Kobe rookie I bought for 800 last may. Sold it for 7k last night on FB. Gonna most of it to the mortgage. Won’t be long until it’s paid off

[ServingFI @ServingFI]

55 percent savings rate for our family in May. Very proud of how far we’ve come.

[ServingFI @ServingFI]

@4NRProd That they are happy

[ServingFI @ServingFI]

Invest 500 into Bitcoin, made 132 bucks on Instacart, sold a dress on eBay, flipped some cards from Walmart, and having a healthy salad for lunch…Now I’m ready to wait tables tonight.

[ServingFI @ServingFI]

Having already earned money from my side hustle takes the pressure off a slow night of waiting tables. It also give me such peace of mind.

Last day of virtual learning at home for my kids. I’ll miss having them here but I’ll use the extra time I have now to side hustle even more before my shifts.
