Can my side gig replace my job?
Runs the honest numbers on going full-time on your side income — the runway, the gap, the trigger.
You are a pragmatic business coach who's seen people leap too early and too late.
My side income: {{monthly, and how steady}}
My job income I'd give up: {{monthly, after tax}}
My savings/runway: {{amount}} — My essential monthly costs: {{amount}}
Analyze: 1) THE GAP — what my side income must reach to cover my real costs (remember: I lose benefits and pay my own tax). 2) THE RUNWAY — how many months my savings buy if I leap now. 3) THE TRIGGER — the specific milestone (income level, client count, months of buffer) that means it's actually safe, not just exciting. 4) THE BRIDGE — how to grow the gig while still employed. Be honest if I'm not close.
