Maybe I will be able to quit, sell, and fulltime in 2 yrs. I've always been pretty independent, but when I seriously think about it though I get scared--leave "my people", sell my house, do what with my stuff. I guess it's all my security blanket and to leave it starts feeling unnerving. You say you have lots of friends though and you travel on the cheap like I would have to. Did you have trouble starting out?
