Hi Buck. I made the leap a few years ago and quit my job and moved abroad to Morocco so I could live cheaper and spend all my time working on my hypnotherapy websites. My wife was working full time so I had little else to do but work most of the day. 18 months later I returned to England with almost a full time living from my websites. For a few month I did some part time work to subsidise my income. However eventually I increased my earnings enough to quit and make all my income online.
It felt great, and still does! You need to work hard and work smart, as it is unlikely to happen overnight. It must have took me about 3 years to get to that point. During those 3 years I had periods of earning little to no cash on my websites. It can be easy to give up. I was literally working 12-16 hours a day at times for very little financial reward. However I kept my faith in myself and what I was doing. I think it also really helped that I could quit my job for 18 months and really concentrate on my online businesses. I think it would have took a lot longer if I was also working full time. The important thing I believe is to keep going.

Retirement?? What's THAT? Hahaha
I'm a little over a month away from my 1-year quit-o-versary and I'll echo Jon – I didn't know what hard work meant until I started working for myself! I've worked insane hours all year and hope to cut that down a little in 2013. Would love to be included and look forward to reading your post, Buck!

Hi Buck,
I took the leap about six months ago. I left my job to help expand the business my wife had started about two years previous. It it a lot of hard work and can definitely be long hours, but it is worth the time and effort. It's been a very rewarding experience so far and we love working together running our business. I would love to be included and look forward to reading it.

I quit this summer and it's going well so far. Check out my 3 months update.
We haven't changed our lifestyle much because we were already frugal previously.
The kid is getting harder to handle though as you know.
Looking forward to your post.
