I'm on the fence about leaving my current job and going the self employed route. The conflict of work taking away from personal and family time has grown to be quite a burden. My job requires me to work 6 days a week 8.5 to 9 months out of the year logging anywhere from 55 to 75 hours a week. My work place has also taken on a toxic environment type feel that I know longer wish to be apart of, constant arguing among co workers and a lack of good leadership. I've passed several offers up over the years to go elsewhere, but because this place is 10 minutes from home and they pay is great I've remained here. But I've learned from working at this place that while having a healthy paycheck is nice sometimes the juice is just not worth the squeeze.
Right now we are only working 50 hour weeks (winter schedule) and I've taken on a few good sized side jobs and I love the freedom of working by myself and the flexibility that comes with it.
So, to those of you who have taken the plunge, do you find yourself having more time or less time for yourself? Do you end up being less stressed out or more stressed out? I know it's going to be a hell of an undertaking and a giant move and adjustment on my part, which I'm fully prepared for.
