"quit my 40 hour work week and have more time for things I enjoy doing" Given that basically everyone would like to do this, I suggest it's a rather challenging thing to do in that it's highly competitive, and that the vast majority of Entrepreneurs, bootstrapped or otherwise, work longer hours than average. If you calculate risk into the equation, it does not look good. If your real objective is 'work-life balance' then there's probably an opportunity for you to contract and consult x-hours a week that has considerably lower risk dynamics. But if your actual goal is really to start a business, then obviously that's what you want to do.
