Same here.

When I left telco, I had money coming in from my celebrity sites. I have been doing online/adult part time since 1997. So I did not go from a nice paying job to $0.00 income.

However, it was a hefty drop, and adjustment, to be sure. It took me around 9-12 months before I was making around the same, and after maybe another 12-18 months, much more. So in the end, I make more, and have freedom and sanity. The bigger trade off was the health insurance.

But you can't put a price on freedom. You could not pay me a million dollars to go back to a 9-5. Freedom and piece of mind is simply that good.
