110k fully remote. Every other Friday off. 60% 401k match. Full benefits. I asked for a learning stipend and they agreed. Iโll be one of the youngest adjuster they have so I want to continue to learn and grow.
Just a few years ago I was making $800/month as a part time in n out worker.
Now I make $20K/month minimum.
Trust yourself, it takes time to build wealth. Make a plan and execute. Iโm not even close to where I PLAN to be.
My bills are paid up for the rest of the year.
Condo up 5K in equity and I closed 2 weeks ago.
Investment accounts looking healthy.
I'm at work right now stacking this money.
Life is good, I can't complain.
I still drive my '08 Acura TL.
Ppl on the same deployment as me bought 40-50K cars as soon as those checks started rolling in.
I bought mobile homes, a condo, and invested a majority into stocks.

Bought a bunch of books and made myself read a book every week.
Started cooking more.
Even started painting.
Quarantine was the best thing to happen to my mental and physical health. My focus in life shifted.
So the time has come, my first year as an independent insurance adjuster has come to an end. I have self released to focus on other projects and to enjoy all the hard work I put in this year.

Real tears in my eyes this morning. All those long nights and early mornings. All that hard work. Everything has been worth it. I am so damn proud of myself.
When I first passed my test. I cried in that parking lot for 30 minutes because I knew I changed my life for the better.
I'm crying tears of joy rn because it feels so good to love what I do and be properly compensated for it.
Here we are 5 months later. I've made over 50K after taxes. Bought a condo. Bought some mobile homes. Moved my whole life to Dallas because so many firms are based here in Texas.
If you focus on the money, odds are the deployments will be short.
If you focus on the skills, youโll be turning opportunities down left and right.
Focus on your craft, the money will flow in abundance.
You think these internet ppl ya friends, whole time they calling managers telling them you lack experience and tryna snake ya spot. Pls stop posting where you work.
Been closing 2 claims per day as that is the requirement on this assignment. They offered us a bonus to be paid per claim this week since we got a bunch of new claims. ๐๐ I just closed my 8th claim today.
Just a few years ago I was making $800/month as a part time in n out worker.
Now I make $10K/month minimum just from work.
Trust yourself, it takes time to build wealth. Make a plan and execute. Iโm not even close to where I PLAN to be.
I got sick of my own shit. Decided to start building new habits, focus on what I was feeding my brain, changed my mindset and behaviors. All to get myself to the next level. Growing is uncomfortable af, hard and scary. But not growing scared me even more.
I had a seizure that I thought was related to high blood pressure. Turns out I have an abnormal mass on my brain. Still too early to tell how serious it is, but regardless ya girl is a fighter.
Real talk in the last two weeks I almost died. Still crazy to think about. Forever grateful that Iโm still here. Make sure you hug the ppl you love extra tight.

Did nine months straight deployed, made over a 100K. Took 6 weeks off. Took a deployment + 2 other jobs for the last six weeks. Self releasing starting Friday. Staying remote with the two other gigs to be able to have more time and travel easier.
Adjuster friend just took 3 years of estimator experience into landing himself a 110K/year role with a roofing company as an estimator. We worked on interviewing and his skills one on one last year. Iโm hype as fuck!
Today is three years since my insurance adjuster license was approved.
If you asked me three years ago if I had any idea that my life would be like how it is now, id tell you yes.
I made a plan and showed up every day for myself. Had to pivot a few times but still showed up.
Re-evaluating my actions, words, and thoughts in order to become a better partner in life. This is not going to be an easy journey, but this man is worth it.
Men are truly the prize.
Iโm a happy woman.
Life hack:
Use a wash & fold service.
Used to complain about laundry all the time. Now I pay $20-30 every two weeks. Drop my baskets off and pick things up folded and put on hangers.
Excited to announce that after being deployed in office for the last 174 days. Today will be my LAST day having to come in.
They gave me the weekend off!
Work from home life starts Monday! Been out here grinding and it's really falling into place.
Yโall donโt understand. I literally donโt have to look for a deployment. I get called from unit/segment managers directly asking if Iโm available. I negotiate my rate. I worked so mf hard to get to this point.
My favorite 6 figure careers
Tech
Insurance Adjusting
Sales
Trades
There are other career that make 6 figures but these have a low barrier of entry and you can start working in your career pretty quickly
Until you get sick of your own shit, you wonโt change. Where youโre at in life is because of you and your choices. Canโt blame anyone else. Own it and work towards being a better you.
Starting the year off by finding out I possibly had brain cancer and then finding out that I donโt really changed me. I canโt quite explain it, but something inside me shifted.
They just sent an offer letter. Not a deployment. Staff role. Every other Friday off. No weekends. Pto. Benefits. Starting negotiations at 90K. Hybrid desk/few field claims a week.
When I was getting serious about my money management, I printed out the last three months of my bank statements. Highlighted every stupid charge on the pages. Most of my statements were covered in wants not needs. You gotta be real with yourself.
Keep on not wanting to work hard.
You know that old ass coworker you be cool with at regular jobs? You know the one where youโre like damn, why are you still working here? In about 15-20 years thatโs gonna be YOU mf.
