Default Re: Pondering Quitting my Day Job to go Full Time...Seeking Advice

Hi Gary,

I have not seen you around the AB forums for years and years. I'm glad to see you are still around. Wondered what happened to you when you dropped out.

The economy is shrinking at the moment and most likely continue to shrink for a while. People may still by a motorcycle, but a custom paint job can wait until better times.

If I were in your shoes I'd be squirreling away as much money as I could for the eventual departure from your job. With a good nest egg you'd feel much better about your situation and in a good position to launch your new business.

Anyway, best of luck with what ever you decided to do.

Regards,
Jerry

I won't go into the whole shop politics and management fiasco's since that isn't my point or on the topic I was after...but they are still factors none the less.

Thanks again everyone.
