Take my case for example, I do not enjoy my job
even though the pay is very good and I was centering all my investment on stocks.
By staying a little bit longer on the stupid job I learnt about real estate as a good alternative, I need time and money to build up my real estate portfolio to a reasonable extent before I quit.
i need ONLY the money from the job to plan my exit, I do not care about promotion or office politics as my consolation is that my years in paid employment is numbered.
It is like happily serving a prison term !!!
Thank you young. I always value your contribution and I can tell you know where I'm coming from. Thank you all, I can see you all know what I feel.
I have savings to last me through 6-8months. I work in a service oriented industry and I know I'm very good at it. Although I'm paid well, I make my employer 10 times my salary. I arrange my meetings with clients go in and make the money, my employer never attends unless there's a problem and I can't remember the last time there was one.
I want to open a business in the same line targeting SMEs unlike my employer who's target is top end corporates. Basically I help grow businesses and brands.
Although there's immense fear my spouse and I agree it is the right time to step out now when I have energy and still young (30s) than trying out after I retire. My difficulty is that for me to establish I need to be there 100% as it's a service and maybe teach an employee the few secrets that will give us the edge. That said, my biggest fear is losing my family medical cover but I think I can get a cheaper one. Thank you all.
BBI will solve it :)
