I decided to quit my job entirely instead of trying to balance a FT job with indie hacking. I was too drained after work to do anything when I actually had a desk job - it was fairly high stress and I was leading a lot of different projects, so in order to free up some mental cycles, I realized I had enough savings and just decided to quit.
Overall I think it was the right decision and I only wish I had quit sooner.
That's amazing. Not many people reach the point where they can say that. Many quit, fail, and then get another job.. repeating the cycle.
Like me. I quit 5 times for longer than a year since the late 90's. Its been a fun ride. Scenic for sure. Would definitely recommend (do it like Ben, not me).
Haha. No shame in trying multiple times! But yes, I waited until I was sure I could sustain myself living in a cheap country without a working product for X years.
This would be awesome, but I don't have a long runway and not seeing money income makes me very anxious, so I decided that I would work sideways, and when I get some money, I would jump into an FT indie hacking.

Thats my next stint possibly. Stay cheap in Bangladesh, learn to actually code (using Shipfast) for a year, build unicorn, win, retire.
Bangladesh > SF > Filet Mignon and Lobster > Sell Startup > Bangladesh > Die
