It's the mindset behind. Using Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant, your friend is the classic E who wants to find his success in working for others. I have friends like that too. My thoughts are exactly like yours. It's hard to change their minds, but my friends seem happy doing it. For me, as long as they are happy, I'm happy for them. Great article!

I also have a pretty cushy job and I have been in a major hurry to quit so I could build my own business. However, I realized a few months ago just how good I do have it. So if I have to wait another year or two to be able to leave, then that's another year or two that I have to grow my emergency fund. Loved this article!

I can retire anytime now - but choose to work for the free company paid health insurance. So I work the 30 hrs/wk required for that, and have a nice cushy job. I say cushy, because the demands are low, and the free time is high. Plus I can take off if needed to babysit grandkids, catch a school bus, or bring a grandkid to work with me if needed. And I can do my ebay sales from work, or read, do bookwork, etc..... a lot of personal stuff can get done at work. So for me, it is well worth it to keep the cushy job as it fits my needs for extra personal time, flexible hours, and free health insurance.

It will be a challenge I know but it will be worth it in the long run.

This article presents an interesting dilemma. Do you stay at a “cushy” job which doesn’t require much mental, physical and emotional energy (and overtime) or move on to one that does provide those things, along with more challenge? I agree that the only way I’d stay in such a job is to pursue a side hustle that could one day become my primary hustle! (@ My Wife Quit Her Job) [...] [...] Should You Stay At Your Cushy Job.

It is the perfect setup. It just takes discipline. @Ching Ya Thanks! It sounds like your goals are aligned with ours. Hopefully you'll have your blog running full steam by the time the little ones arrive (if they haven't already) @PTMoney Cool. Is ptmoney.com your side hustle or do you have other side businesses as well? I'd love to check them out. @Jeremy Thanks! Your comments are always appreciated @Evan Oops, I guess I took your comment out of context. My buddy is just one of those people who loves new challenges and he always works really hard at whatever he does. I've been trying to convince him to channel that energy into his own venture but thus far have been unsuccessful. @Stephen
