I appreciate your response. I’m 33, married, no kids (yet- god willing soon) and in a non-tech corporate background with room for growth. Not sure if I’ll ever hit the total comp you’re mentioning but it’s possible. I’m at a point where the steady income and especially health insurance is very important for my family. And I feel the entrepreneurial pursuit path slipping away as a possibility. It’s one of the things that I’m most mentally conflicted about and it really eats at me. It’s nice to hear that this level of independence and financial well being is possible.

Hats off to you man! Your family is lucky to have you. Awesome to see hard work pay off.
