Comment on Ask HN: Would you quit your +200K/y job to try the entrepreneurial route?parent

Comments

I have a house and i'm married. This is real "saving" money, not money that would turn you cash poor getting into a mortgage. Mortgage is half paid off still need money to pay it off. Getting another job won't fix my problem. What I need is to go fulltime on that for a few months and see how that goes. I code everyday all day at work, i am more interested in hearing similar experience, someone who was willing to give up a sweet spot to start from scratch with a %5-10 success rate

I've been building stuff for years and years along side my job. It's a long term marathon to find something that people will pay for.

If you can, find a way to do it alongside your normal lifestyle then you can do it forever if you want. Currently you're trying to set yourself up for one all-or-nothing run at it. Find a way to do it forever.
