I have 5 months and 3 weeks left at my day job... Finally getting into this full time. My company was bought by a big guy. For 3 months I believed I was just part of the transition team. I couldn't have been happier, or scared, lets be honest
Then, just two weeks shy, I must have impressed the wrong person and they offered me a job. I took it, more I think because I had lobbyists, and they were on the way out. How graceless of me not to accept, right!?
Gotta say, I am miserable. So now, I am banking the money until the end of the year, then its all about my 3 machines and me and a dust collector
Have a 1 year safety net, you can't leave the family frightened of the future. You cannot measure the value of ending the day loving how you spent it. You will be more loving to those around you as well... it's contagious.
