I would advise anyone who makes their passion a full time job to save a substantial amount of money before making the leap.

I retired early but saved for 35 years before resigning from a job with 6 figure salary. Due to a economy rocked by a unnecessary pandemic shutdown.
I ended up starting a consulting firm after several offers.

Fortunately I didn’t have bills that created stress every month and had a wife that had a job that covered medical insurance.

Recommend all who want to be successful to develop a short and long term plan.
