ha! It isn't all sunshine and roses, but for my personality it works well. The one bit of advice I can give you now is to control your expenses with an iron grip. Don't just save, live well below your means. The lower your expenses, the less risk you take on when you do make the switch.

I've seen people who want to make the switch, but can't because they can't stay afloat making less than $70-$100k. Don't be that guy or gal, and when you do go for it, you'll find it's a lot less scary than it has to be :)
