$5k pm is not alot and income is not stable. My cousin is a uni grad but chose to YOLO and become a gym/dance instructor. He built up a regular clientele of aunties (cos he was the typical LGBT gym instructor - chatty, bitchy/funny, fair and good looking).

But that was when he was in his 20s. He is finding work harder to come by in his mid 40s as he lost his "sunshine"... how long more can you do this?
