Just hit 50 residential installs this month and I'm not sure how to feel about it

I've been doing this alarm install thing on my own for about three years now, mostly for folks in the suburbs around Columbus. Last week I finished my 50th residential system for the month and it kind of caught me off guard. That's way more than I usually do in a month, like double my normal pace. I think it's because a bunch of homeowners got spooked after a few break-ins in the area and they all called around the same time. The thing is, I'm running myself ragged doing all the wiring, panel setups, and testing by myself. I mean, the money's good but I'm exhausted and I'm starting to wonder if I should hire a helper or just slow down and pick jobs. Has anyone else hit a crazy milestone like that and had to figure out if it was worth the grind?

Hitting 50 in a month is a beast, that's no joke. Take a breather and think about a helper, you don't want to burn out.

Oh man, that's a good point but here's something nobody's talking about - hitting 50 is huge but what about the cleanup after? You're not just grinding levels, you're going to have a mountain of loot and items to sort through. Nobody mentions how much inventory management you'll be dealing with once you pop that level. Plus all the quests that suddenly unlock at 50, those can be overwhelming. Maybe think about setting aside some time just for organizing your bank and bags before you dive into endgame content.
