Why I am scared to be financially independent?

[Jacob Graul]

Ok, this is going to sound very different but.....

I am not quite exactly where I want to be with my goals yet at 26 years old (10k a month cashflow on PAID OFF properties) [NO DEBT] but I am however VERY VERY close. I told myself that once I reached my goal I would quit my full time job (still remain in the military reserve for insurance and 2nd retirement) and focus strictly on the growth of my business. But I don’t really even know how to quit, I don’t know what % of my income would be appropriate to live on (very frugal) but I do know I do not want to live my life and raise my kids working a 9-5 that’s why I have spent most of my adulthood in the Middle East making $ to acquire more cash flow. What age did you quit? Was you in shell shock at first or started hustling harder? Did you gratify yourself immediately or manage your cash flow responsibly? Did your business actually grow? Any more insight or advise would be great! PS I’m not opposed to leveraging properties I just set this 10k month goal on paid off properties and I attend on achieving very soon.
