The math nobody does
Before you quit anything you need one number: the smallest amount of money that keeps your life running for a month. Not your salary. Not your ideal. The floor.
Most people never work it out, which is why leaving feels like a cliff instead of a step. In this chapter we calculate it in three passes, then cut it by a fifth without touching anything you actually enjoy.
The rule: you are not buying freedom, you are buying months. Months are cheaper than you think.
Try a prompt like this
This is a suggested starting prompt inspired by the excerpt, not a record of its original generation.
Create a practical nonfiction guide for someone considering leaving a salaried job. Start with a worksheet for essential monthly expenses, then explain how to estimate a financial buffer and test a business idea before making a decision.
Suggested direction: Nonfiction · practical guide. Adjust the length and tone to suit your project.
