Family always has come come first - it's not as easy as when someone is single. If I fail and have to eat ramen noodles and live in a box by myself, no biggie. But I couldn't put my family through that. That being said, it gets tiring working for someone and butting up against the ceiling of potential. Working for myself... there is no ceiling. There's a lot to be said for that. Smart move on building that savings though - that will be a huge safety net for you. I’ve by no means made a decision yet.

I also plan on working for myself after I pay off my debts. My plan is to build up a substantial emergency fund (at least 18 months worth of expenses). That way I'll have a full year to go at it on my own and if it doesn't work out I'll still have 6 months to look for work. I hope it all works out for the best, whatever you decide.
