Most people I talk to have already run the math.
They know the numbers work. Or they might even have a side business already making real money.
And they still won't pull the trigger.
This article names one big reason why: the job isn't just a paycheck. It's identity. Leaving means admitting something to yourself, to your family, to anyone who watched you grind for it.
What the article doesn't say (but I will): you don't need everything figured out before you go. You need a bridge, a transition that protects the family while the next thing scales. Not a switch flip. A structure.
Certainty isn't the bar. Clarity is. A good-enough plan, personalized and stress-tested by someone who'll give you an honest verdict, is.
I have a question: What do you think about the concept of "FU money"?
