A side anecdote I never broke $100K but I was close last corp I worked at. I was working a side job that became my main thing. They agreed to pay my base bills per month eg. $3K/mo and we would try to get this company off the ground. I'm a 10% partner at least but it's 10% of $0. Anyway so far we have not gotten traction so it's interesting I'm developing another version of our app. But I came out of my job at 59% loss in pay and in debt from crypto tanking... So I'm concerned there but I'm single. Could just get a job (I'm sad I turned down Amazon Prime Air recruiter even though I probably would not have been qualified). But I wanted to say the break from a 9-5 that I had been doing for years has been great. I've been working projects more/getting blogs/videos out. I've been enjoying it other than the debt that's building up since I don't make more to pay it down. Eventually something will have to happen. I'm a co-inventor though that's cool I guess. My end goal is to FIRE but I'm far from it right eg. ~-$50K net worth (mostly student loans). I will say my negative worth is not entirely me I have donated $40K+ to my own blood families (in a third world country) so far and donate to food shelters and what not not a virtue signal I'm just stupid.
