Almost a year ago I started a business that has been growing pretty well every singe month since. It's getting to the point where I'm close to earning the same as what I earn in my current 9 to 5 office job (£18k a year).
My day job is really easy has a huge amount of security since I'm the only one who knows how to do what I do. I spend a lot of my time at work actually working on my own business, and I don't think I could get away with that in any other line of work. However, I desperately want to cut ties with this place because I feel like I'm wasting my life away working for people I dislike and for a product I find morally wrong. I also suffer from severe misophonia (sound anxiety) and spend most of my day with earphones on playing white noise and counting down the minutes to freedom.
In the meantime I'm steadily saving up £5k in emergency savings to just leave in the bank as a safety net.
My half of the mortgage is £250 per month and food is around £300. Anything else is really a luxury so I don't need much money to live on. There's nothing I want or need. I do like to travel and go out, but I figure that if I leave my day job I will have time to start my other business ideas. I don't necessarily want my business to grow huge. I just want it to be sustainable.
My husband thinks it would be wise to see how sales go within the next few months and then possibly ask my boss if I could go part time so I can spend the rest of my week on my own business. I just want to cut ties with my job completely but would that be too reckless?
