My husband's in the same boat as you. He quit and is not looking back. 9 times out of 10 the people in this world who are successful will tell you the only way they could have done it was by making a gutsy move of some kind. Sure, their friends laughed and their family thought they were crazy, but if you've got that feeling in your gut, you've got to go for it. I think you made a smart move. I can't wait to see what you can do with all that extra time. Your girlfriend didn't move out did she? It helps if they are supportive. :) Awesome! My husband’s in the same boat as you.

Chase the dream. It is surprisingly close. I never quit my job, I just never got 1. Blogging is my first and job, and I intend to keep it that way untill I enter and leave Uni, found a company and become a millionare. At least that's the plan! Even if you or I were to fail (I'm confident we will both succeed) and lose everythying, it would have been worth it because we only live once and it is best to try. Good Luck. Great Idea. Chase the dream. It is surprisingly close.

One day the assistant manager came in and basically asked me to hand her my keys. I never showed up after that...I quit on the spot. But I hated her anyway. About 2 months later I was working clean up at the local bakery and six months after that I went off to college. The real question is, how long can you afford to not be working while you find another job...if the answer is less than a few months...you might want to line something up first.

You should have seen it. It was totally awesome. I can’t really give you any valid unemployment (self employment?) advice, but I CAN tell you the coolest thing I did this week:

It has far to much stress for me, I sometimes enjoy it, depending on what the day is like, but for the most part is it way too stressful, and will only get more stressful as peak season comes up for us. I'm not quiting because I make money online to support myself, I just need to quit to better my life.

However not having a job does not necessarily mean you're going to miss out on the social aspect of life. It's great that you met lots of people, got to date a cute girl, and live in Thailand, but working from the comfort of your own home can do all those things too. Just because you work at home doesn't mean you don't have the free time to go out and do other things. As a matter of fact, because you're not obligated to put in 40+ hours weeks, you can allocate your time better (at least in most cases). It's all about how you look at it and I am sure there are jobs where most people will love it and not dread going to work. I also don't agree with you when you say life is far too short to stay cooped up at home all day. I do agree with the statement itself but who says people are cooped up at home all day long. What is the difference if you're cooped up all day at work then come home. It's all about time management and I am sure people who are successful at work or at home doing their own business can find free time both ways. But like you said, I guess it's all about personal perspective on how we see it. There is nothing wrong with finding a job you love.

Got up and quit my job. However my scenario was a little different. It definitely is a bold move but with the numbers you guys are pulling in, I believe you can make it. If all else fails, you can always apply for another job in the same field part time and go from there. There is no such thing as a dead end and I truly believe you will make it.
