Your regular 9-5 corp job is probably the safest way to financial freedom. At least in the short term. It's turbulent out there right now to try to find a new job or start your own thing. Freelancing is hard, really hard, it's possible but tough to transition to. Checkout the podcast, StartupsForTheRestOfUs.com, start in the archives, episode 1 and follow Rob's story. It's definitely a lot of work upfront and luck to do your own thing. But the podcast is good and might give you some inspiration. I would plan on returning to your 9-5, at least till the pandemic runs it's course, I'm expecting that to take 12 to 18 months minimum. Stable income, health ins. Up your life insurance, make sure it isn't tied to your employment, part of what you're looking for might be peace of mind that your family is taken care of. Focus on your health. My friend early in college was diagnosed with stage IV cancer, she got in to St. Judes, was cured and is still doing well today. Your own thing can introduce stress, but if your wife works you can probably balance that. What should you do right now? Focus on getting back to your 9-5, but also build an audience, teach what you know, if you provide value there is a huge opportunity to sell info products to developers if you can distill your valuable knowledge out to an audience. https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/098-adam-wathan-of-refactoring-ui https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/098-adam-wathan-of-refa... Good luck my friend.
