Hey there,

I finally finished reading Millionaire Fastlane . Right after reading the book, some thoughts came to my mind:
  1. Do I have to quit my job now? Like right now?
  2. Even without any objective what to do as my Fastlane business?
  3. Is that a dumb idea?
  4. Should I maybe reduce my work hours first and try business as a sidehustle?
I cannot find answers to these questions and I did not find any threads on this forum about this topic. That's why I'm writing this blog post. Maybe someone was at the same point sometime in his or her life.

Here is some information about my circumstances:
  • my fulltime job (40h/week) pays me about 2500€/month
  • If I liquidate my ETF funds and crypto investments I would have about 20K on my bank account
  • I could live for about one year without earning one single euro
  • I am able to code and create web applications
What would you recommend me to do in my current situation? In my opinion I have these options:
  1. Quit completely and focus on starting a fastlane business
  2. Reduce working hours to start a fastlane business parallel to my fulltime job until it pays enought to finance my living expenses and then quit
Thank you in advance for the good advice :)
