It sucks to read this, but I have a very similar experience to this. I quit my job after 2 years because I was ready to strike out on my own and try my hand at a startup. I failed almost instantly. I have spent the last 2 years struggling because I wasn't able to get my business going, and I didn't qualify for unemployment. The worst part was the company went under 5 months later and had I held on, I would have had 99 weeks of unemployment to use to get my idea off the ground. In my life I can count the number of regrets I have, but that is without a doubt the biggest one.
