Afterall, they would probably charge you a fee if you broke the lease early (and they weren't planning to remodel).I've purchased several buildings where I wanted tenants to leave so I could begin work.  

When you are dead broke you are grabbing at straws.

I know there are ways to do it with way less...however I would prefer to minimize my risk and have reserves in my bank account so that if I get hit with a large expense I am not SOL and broke.

At some point in the conversation he pulled out a photo of his son in uniform and was showing it to me as a group of girls in their early 20's walked by.  

We talked to the two guys who then broke into our house and changed the locks.

I broke it down to the individual components to understand how people usually estimate it.

She has great contacts and if you are looking for " boots on the ground", she's your girl.

He uses cars and hot girls to grab the attention of 16 -20 year old male.

Our manager at the job I used to work when I "traded my time for money" had a household income of probably $350,000-$400,000 per year --- she couldn't afford to go out and buy lunch two days before payday because she didn't have ANY money - she was flat broke - they spent every penny they made on cars, jewelry, clothes, purses, suits, watches, eating at expensive restaurants, etcAs you see, every persons situation is different - as @Ryan Cameron said, the first step is to work on getting your expenses under control- that makes your goal much more obtainable in a shorter time.I had a good job with great benefits, but I had other interests that I wanted to pursue - and I hated going to work every day - so I started working on leaving my 9-5 job - between adding income with rental property and reducing my monthly expenses, within a few years, I was able to leave a job I hated and spend my time doing whatever I wanted- As Thomas S. mentioned, a job is nothing more than trading our time for money - well, Time is the most valuable asset I have - and I wasn't willing to give it away so cheaply - my Time is more valuable than money - You see, it doesn't work in reverse, I can't buy more Time, I can't inherit more Time --- money is easy to acquire, our time is limited.
