Today, the 35-year-old mother of two earns about $163,000 a year working as an architectural designer for the Port of Authority for New York and New Jersey and running her own interior design side business for private clients, Juntero.

A true hustler. For her to be able to build an interior design business in 2 years while working a 9-5 says a lot about her work ethic. Whats also interesting is her and her husband were able to buy a home for 675k and a piece of land for 450k so financially it seems like they are already set. The cost of building their dream home will probably be another 500k so all in that dream home with land cost will be over 1 mil. The surrounding homes around that vacant land seem like mansions too. What im saying is it doesnt even seem like she needs to do the side gig but shes a go-getter and want more out of life. A very smart woman. Inspiring!

Not really, she still makes most of her income from her port authority job. She made 126k for her port authority job, and 37k from her side business for total income of 163k. The Business had revenue of 400k, but much of that revenue has to go to pay architects, designers, etc which explains why she only paid herself 37k from that business.

She’s on the right track for the most part, except for that vacant lot. At her age with her young family, she cannot be sinking money for years without a return. She really should be investing that money now, either in a rental or at least in a stock index fund to get 8-9% annual returns. Do that for another 15 years and she’ll be much better prepared to build the dream house when she’s 50 with kids in high school.

She’s amazing and so impressive. I can’t help but though that its crazy that in this day and age such a highly qualified, obviously hard working person on $125K a year in a good, secure job, who seems to be highly financially responsible, smart and frugal, still needs to start a side business to ensure financial security for her family. Capitalism is a failed experiment.

@LJ-ce9qy 4 ай бұрын

The same capitalism that you said is a failed experiment is the same capitalism which enabled her to start a business and gross $400,000 which I’m sure she’ll likely scale to become a multimillion dollar entity. Capitalism is very much alive and thriving.

@SoteOsrs 4 ай бұрын

Perhaps she should take her talent to Nigeria and see how she does there? There's lots of places she can go where, according to you, she will thrive even more without that pesky capitalism thing!

Well it says she brings in $400k. It also says that she paid herself about $30k from that business. She’s doesn’t have any major overheads so I would guess she is profitable.

$450k on that lounge she bought just been spent paying off her loans entirely. Also, she’s worried about a spouse dying and being left with a mortgage - it’s literally what life insurance is for. You take out $1 million policy on yourself and on your spouse so if either one of you dies, you can just end up further ahead than when you left off.
