David @David - 6mo
I had to leave corporate software. It was sucking the life out of me. You're right, very lonely.
I've been saving like crazy. I did start a web dev firm and I'm putting some energy towards building that freelance business. But it's not self-sustaining yet. This plan has been in the works for a couple years. And it was still so hard to pull the trigger. I went back and forth with myself for nearly 6 months before finally taking the plunge.
You as well man. I found that interests and hobbies outside of work were what carried me through the toughest times. Hang in there!
