That is kind of my biggest dilemma with the book

I am a contractor & just send in invoice for the last 2 weeks - number of hours: 124

Yup - that pretty much sums it up - I hate the CTO of the company, I dont have much time other than work - yet I cannot quit - I even got a raise in hourly rates

This year I am already living frugal - I figure I can save as much as 80% of the paycheck - so how can I quit?

I even own stock in the company - fraction of a percent - but still - if the sell it will be worth something (I know - on the other hand - over 99% of my efforts go to fill someone elses pockets)

And another thing is - I am pretty damn good at what I do - Ive seen other contractors work - which is worthless waste of money - so if I quit - I would let down a place where I put in 5 years of hard work - so how can I quit

Or is there a way to eat your cake & have it also - where in addition to 60 hour work week I can start building my own thing
