How to save to quit your day job & pursue your passion
Rounding it up
Creating a financial cushion to quit your job and pursue your passion begins with knowing how big of a cushion you need. In other words, how much money will it take?
Then, set up a budget and rein in your spendings so you can work towards saving that money.
Also aim to pay off any loans or credit card debt.
It helps to have a source of passive income; look into a good, high-yield savings account.
