Quit corporate & pursue ur passion

Gary1981 — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:03:36 +0800

Dear folks

Any of you has this experienced or current you are in the situation!! If yes, how do you manage with your changed lifestyle?

I had read books about how ppl quit their corporate job and pursue their passion with more ordinary life. As we know, sometimes passion does not earn us a decent $$ which is a realistic need for the real life especially if we are a family committed.

So any story or ppl that had gone through the process!!!....

Accumulated 23months reserved/emergency funds!

Gary1981 — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 11:08:11 +0800

Dear folks

Continue the savings or think about others to invest. We have a thought to buy a house but one of us do not want to have commitment monthly that may reduce our monthly savings. My hubby will prefer to buy properties if we have sufficient to buy with cash and sell it with profits and not intends for long term investment. We only have FD's and insurance. Just wondering about our financial management pursue. Even have a thought want to buy an education plan insurance for our kids, but hubby said not worth the ROI. After 20 years paid abt RM90k plus, get onli RM150k. So now we also do not have any decision what to try on.

The suitable time to leave ur permanent job?

For those has been through this experience, what is ur key factors that determine ur strength to leave ur permanent job and pursue ur business?
