You should have quit your job.
Read the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
It's about the purpose of a job and why you should be independent of a paycheck. Jobs are a dead end, I've always said that. No one made their way to the Forbes 400 from a job.
The book embodies many of the ideals that I've lived by. I just finished it. But I'm glad I wasn't the only one who though that way, LOL.
