Hey Guys,

I'm wondering if anybody here has any inspiring story of quitting their job, betting everything on themselves and taking massive action until you make it? I had a F*cking FTE this week at my job, we'll I guess maybe FTM if I'm even writing this and haven't quit my job yet but I now live in Florida and my rent is like 1.2k and I looked at the cheapest places to live in the US and Mississippi is the cheapest state and I found this nice place that is $630 a month and I'm thinking of burning the boats. I have like $35k saved and 50k CAD saved and I live pretty frugally, I don't really need anything much so I think I could get under 1.3k monthly expenses and the fact that not having a safe paycheck sounds scary but at the same time, I feel that I could make it. I know that's what MJ did and that inspired me a lot. I've seen a lot of people going to Thailand, Colombia or anything like that where you could get it even cheaper, but I want to stay in the US.

Any stories/tips?
