    1. You'll have to quit your regular job.

    You are so better than this anyway.

    2. But striking out on your own can be rewarding in and of itself.

    5. You open a savings account.

    Hey, a penny saved is a penny earned.

    6. You treat all your friends to whatever they want.

    You gotta share the wealth while you can.

    7. You laugh more.

    8. Until one day.

    They let you go without any kind of warning whatsoever.

    9. So you go back to the drawing board.

    You can DO THIS.

    10. Days go by.

    11. Days turn into weeks.

    12. Your reserves start to run dry.

    Who did you think you are?
