How I prepared financially to quit my 9-5 without another job lined up | 9-5 Escape Plan

In this video I go over the key things to consider before handing in your resignation notice, my personal tips on how to create a financial plan to quit your 9-5, a look into our finances, an explanation of how we prepared financially so I could quit my job without another job lined up, and lastly the MOST IMPORTANT thing to plan for before quitting your 9-5.

When I was deciding whether or not to quit my 9-5 job, I was paralyzed by the stress of how we would pay our bills.

I researched a ton and finally settled on a simple way to prepare financially to quit my 9-5 WITHOUT having another job lined up.

This “9-5 escape plan” isn’t full proof and depends on your personal financial situation and how willing you are to take financial risks.

But if you are miserable in your 9-5 and it’s taking it’s toll on your health, quitting without another job lined up may be your only option.
