Hi All,

I'm 24 work for a great company, but it does require traveling about every week (Starting to get old). Average work is probably 45 - 50 hours a week. It does have great benefits below is what I would be giving up by quitting:
  • Cash Pay: 161K
  • Stock: 20K
  • Benefits: 30K (Free healthcare, 9K 401k Match, Insurance, Etc.)
I started a side business in 2013. It's an online tech subscription based service. It's very passive. Maybe 30 minutes a day some days no time. So my day job doesn't really affect this side job. The biggest benefit from a business perspective by quitting my day job would be: ability to advertise at tech user groups, and more time to put into new features, more free time.

My side business income is as shown:
  • 2013: 128K
  • 2014: 249K
  • 2015: 553K
I know this is ultimately my decision. Right now, I'm probably planning to stay at my current job at-least two more years to see if the business keeps growing like it has.

Any thoughts?
