Dude, that's a friggin' gold Apple watch! How the fuck did you afford that on your salary?
I made an extra 10 grand this year from Airbnb.
Airbnb?! Is that some kind of airline? Are you secretly moonlighting as a pilot?
No, man. It's a website where you can post a room for rent in your house. It's like managing your own mini hotel for travelers.
Wow! So you rent out a room in your house to random people?
Yeah, pretty much. But it's been awesome. I've met hundreds of travelers from all over the world. Some stayed for only a day, and others stuck around for weeks. I even had a few hot chicks staying with me!
But you don't know anything about managing a hotel, it sounds like a lot of work for a guy who manages a comic book store.
Actually, it's easy. You basically put up photos of your place, and people book it online through the website. You just let them in and clean up when they're gone. It's way easy and so profitable! I charge 50 bucks a night, 75 in the high season.
Shit man, that's even more than you can make at the comic book store. But I mean, isn't it a pain in the ass to have strangers staying in your house? What if they steal something?
I guess that's a risk but, knock on wood, I've never had it happen. I mean, I don't leave money in the kitchen drawer or anything stupid like that. I actually lock up my valuables, so it's not a big risk. Most of the people are traveling from other countries, so they aren't likely to run off with my TV.
Good point. Does it cost you anything?
I've had to invest in some nice towels and sheets, stuff like that, but it's been totally worth it.
Yeah, you really lucked out inheriting your grandma's house. I wish someone would die and leave me something.
You're such a kind, caring guy, Lee.
