Hi,
I was last on these boards last year at about this time: http://early-retirement.org/forums/index.php?topic=4841.0
At that time, I agonized whether I should break free or remain a well-paid corporate slave. I decided to go with the slavery option for another year (and relocate to an undesirable part of the country with an undesirable company in an undesirable industry). In retrospect, it was the right thing to do, I guess.
Now, however, I think that I can finally swing the entrepreneurial lifestyle. My family is offering me rent-free accommodations in a condo we own in Florida in order to help me get established. Minimizing my personal burn rate is something I've always done well, but not having to pay rent will be nice as I adjust to the shock of going from gross income of $160k / year to $40k / year.
Good luck to y'all!!
