Business is not really for everyone. Let's all understand that fact.

I left a job that paid me over $20k monthly .... relocated to Nigeria...

Was not 100% sure of what to do but I carried my stuff and left .

No single regrets ....

The amount of money to save before quitting your current job will depend on a couple of factors, viz:

1. Your current salary and your satisfaction with your current job;
2. Your current lifestyle and monthly maintenance cost (including rents, if not living in your own property);
3. Your dependants - spouse? Kids? Parents? Siblings? The more dependants you have, the more money you will have to save to avoid disrupting your equilibrium which can cause you to regret leaving your job.
4. How long you have been running the business you are planning to go into full-time. Do you know the new business well and have you made the mistakes or yet to?
5. Your new business running costs - you should be able to fund the running of the new business for at least 6-9 months;
6. Your support structure. If you have a solid support structure, especially from family, you can do with less money saved before breaking out. Having a dependable business partner will be very valuable here.

A good business feasibility study should be done and worst case scenario planning done before you leave. But above all, God's purpose should first be sought.

I have a colleague who about 7 years ago, had saved and invested enough to keep his family going for 2 years without any major lifestyle change (family maintenance, church / ministry support, 3 adult children's school fees to post-graduate degrees, annual family vacations overseas etc) but still in paid employment (and continuing to save). His target is 15 years family support maintaining current status, God being with him.

I hope this helps?
