Message: [QUOTE="Hellmuth iz the Greatest, post: 2159804, member: 102297"] Hey all, now that my rant about Phil Hellmuth is complete i want to get serious.... I am 27 years old and have a 40k a year job i hate. I don't believe in working for a boss ( Being a slave ) but obviously i have no choice. Here is my goal and circumstances: I want to work 2 more years and save, save, save until i approach 30. When that time comes i want to quit my job and try to make a living at low stakes live poker. ( Tournaments sprinkler in as well ) I play right now 20-25 hours a week cause thats all i can fit in w/ my 50 a week work week w/ travel. The most important thing to me is too do what i love and be free. I would rather do what i love and make it comfortably than work till 65 and then be rich. My expenses are low... Just a split rent payment of 1k a month w/ tv, utilities, ect... W/ car insurance say a total of $700 a month expenses i would need to make. Is quitting my miserable job worth the risk to try playing 1/2 ( maybe 2/5 ) live for a living? I know i am a good low limit cash game player, i am patient and not reckless. I usually always end up up at the end of the month with my sessions of about 20 hours a week. Problems... What about health insurance? Never looked into how much this would cost w/out a job.... What about fun money? Taking my fiance out to dinner? I fear i will then become super cheap not wanting to spend any of my money ( Bankroll ) on anything fearing i will wipe through it and have to work again... Bottom line is i have a long term goal to just never work again... Its what i hate most... Is this goal worth the risk? I mean if worst comes to worst i can always get another job right??? Well, maybe w/ this economy...... Opinions please... [/QUOTE]
