It is such a liberating feeling! I am realizing that independance is my biggest motivator. Getting rich would be great, but I'd settle for a good living where I'm in charge of my own destiny. I could care less about telling other people what to do... actually I don't really like that, I like working with people that basically know what needs to be done.

#17very timely, I exited my job of three years last Wednesday. It seemed like I would never get to that day, but then it all happened so fast and I wish I had done it months ago.
While we are about 1-2 months off before launching the beta, I felt that being the founder meant I should take that plunge first, so I'm all in.
Getting off the dole was on of the most exciting things I've done and I honestly hope I'm able to maintain this independence from here on out.

#18I went on hiatus from a job over a month ago.
Now I'm back looking to join a cool RoR startup =)
I have some cash reserves; not enough to live off of in SF for many months.
