All in all, I love it.

I am living off what I made with my last startup and work fulltime on my new startup. Most days I jump out of the bed and start working 7am in the morning. And often I am still working at midnight.

The one thing that bugs me: I decided to not travel until my current venture is making 5 figures per month. I miss traveling. I am looking forward to the time when money is pouring in again and I can take a one way flight to wherever I like. And stay in some comfortable airbnb apartment or upper class hotel room for as long as I like. That's what I was doing when my last startup was flourishing. Now that I am living off my savings it would feel somehow wrong to do that.

I can relate to bionic's description "living in a dimension outside of space, time, matter, mass and gravity". It's all my own rules. My own goals. My own story that nobody around me can relate to.

Are you working alone?

How long (from the start) do you think it will take until you do 5 figures per month?

You're telling me you even get to sleep in?

What does that mean?

It was just a poor joke about 7am being considered early in the bay. Mostly because I loath my 5am wakups for my corporate job. Sorry.
