I own a hair salon. Typically, November is my busiest season. It has been SO quiet. A lot of my colleagues are also saying the same thing and have had to close up shop because of it - or get a second job.

People keep saying it will get better and the economy will bounce back but I don’t know. I am so close from just throwing in the towel, closing up shop and getting a corporate gig.

    I’m a solo real estate agent. Literally everyone hates me for my profession. Market is so tough for everyone right now. Had a seller call me this morning and say I didn’t do shit. (I brought her 7 offers and we had 25 showings) I’ve considered just offing myself truth be told

      Don’t. Hang in there. Try to see this as an opportunity. I know that kind of platitude is the worst thing to hear, but sometimes hearing it makes a difference. Im in the same boat but trying to reframe it.
