That is so encouraging. I've been wanting to try a different career path for a long time, but couldn't justify it in light of the great benefits and salary I'm receiving now. Hoping to hit 100K NW in the next 18 months and right now I believe that will be a sufficient cushion to feel comfortable giving up my "firehose of money." It does feel like ripping up a winning lottery ticket, but being chained to a desk is no way to work for 30 years, either.
