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

I think I'll do the same in a year's time. I'll do my own thing for a few months full time, and see how it goes. At the same time, I also plan on buying a house and renting it out, for the property I'm interested in, that will be a cash-flow neutral proposition. In the past 2 years, I've saved enough to live for 4 years. I think I'll spend some of the savings on hiring freelancers over the internet rather than convincing someone to quit, because this is a project I want to build, rather than a project for profit generation and I don't intend to lose other people's money on a project whose aim isn't to make money. My job's salary starts with a 1 rather than a 2.

At some point I realised I work to live. I don't live to work. And living means doing the things I want to do, working should only be a means to achieve that.

Buy your house before you quit. You may get a lot of extra costs along the way before you get the ball rolling.
