everyone said quitting their full time job. i work for the city and the biggest benefit of the health insurance is only a few dollars per month for my family. i went to those health insurance truck that parked on the sidewalk to get a quote. i am married with only one 2 year old and planning to have another one. they told me with my salary. it could cost me about $500 per person/month in my household. let just say without the 2nd kid. it will cost me about $1500 per month for 3 of us. that's without going to the hospital or anything happen. i want to quit my job too but my health insurance will be from a few dollars for my family per month to $1500 per month. what's your opinion?

I am quite active in Orlando and the biggest wholesalers ( licensed company) have closed their wholesale side as there just are not many deals anymore in that market.. not like it was 5 to 8 years ago.. last thing I would do is go into wholesaling .. tough road.

For us, the biggest hurdle to get past is health insurance.
