Left my employer of 13 years after seeing no future there long term. Had a new mortgage and a new baby on the way. Went all in. Cashed in my retirement, drove old beat up vehicles, lived on credit cards. Spent many a night with self doubt wondering if I should quit as my credit limits were getting close and my bank account was getting thin. Luckily my kids were young and didn’t realize how broke we were and that Christmases and birthdays were frugal.
Took about three years to start making headway. I put in the work, but if it wasn’t for the encouragement of my wife I’m not sure if I would stuck it out. Had a lot of help from family and friends- offering me odd jobs when I was slow.
