Couple With 2 Kids Refuse to Work 9-5, Have No Investments But Want to Pursue Business - Should They?

The couple chose to start their businesses to avoid climbing the corporate ladder. (Credit: Youtube)

Callie, 36, and Travis, 39, live in South Texas, near the ocean, with their two kids. They consciously decided to become entrepreneurs to step out of the 9-5 jobs and avoid the rat race of climbing the corporate ladder.

Callie left her $80,000 job four years back, and it took her a while to return to that income level. However, they are determined to work for themselves to retain flexible schedules and grow the life they seek, but now feel they are in this "hustle loop" that offers freedom at the cost of risking working their entire lives.
