Hi everyone,

I've just started to work on this and in order to clarify things and be more motivated, I decided to calculate my escape number based on the book: Escape the rat race & my 1/5/10 Planasy.

As much as I saw the numbers in the book, my own number scared me a bit.
I came up with 21 million euros, which I know isn't incredible either, but still, it's a lot of money.

How did you manage this ? I went to read the stories of startups sold at that price and above, just to motivate myself and rationalize it.
