In reply to Joe @ Retire by 40. Aha I knew it. I could tell you're INTJ/P from your writing. You sound like my husband (but with more confidence...and flare lol!) Thanks for sharing your thoughts Joe!

That’s really cool. We are INTJ/P people too. I just don’t like talking to strangers, it’s a lot of effort.
Someday, I’d love to try hosting Airbnb for a while and see if it works. Thanks for sharing.

Those are all great stories and reasons why AirBNB is Da Bomb! That’s cool you got to meet an 80 year old Renegade Japanese grandmother AND learned how to pronounce your last name correctly!! My husband and I are both 87% introversion, so we don’t host dinner parties or anything like that either, and less contact with people the better haha. There’s something called Keycafe here where you can just have the guest pick up the key at a coffee shop. I like the cleaning idea the best, it sure motivates you to clean. I had an Airbnb last year out of my condo (while I was away) and I think I spent 7-8 hours cleaning my place, and it still didn’t feel clean 🙁

This is so cool, Lily. Thanks for sharing your personal experience as a AirBNB host! From the looks of it, it’s rather profitable too. You and Jared are making all the right moves at such a young age… love it.

LOL I think “prud-homie” has a nice ring. I still say it wrong, it sounds cuter!
Wow I didn’t know about the dog whisperer thing! That’s cool!!!

I thought your guys’ last name was pronounced “prud-homie” as well XD Looks like there’s some fringe benefits to being an Airbnb host, other than the money! And yes, dog whisperers are a thing. They make decent money I heard! Which goes to show, all business really is, is solving other peoples’ problems!
