somebody told me once that before quitting my day job...to put six months living expenses in a savings account - then if i could go another six months without touching it, then go! did i listen to that sage advice?? er........no
but circumstances were what they were and it was something i had to do - thankfully it's worked out well for over 5 years now but i won't say there weren't some squeaky times in the beginning!
the other thing to think about are benefits - does his day job provide health insurance?? these days that's a biggie and very expensive to duplicate on your own.
good luck either way you decide to go - i think you guys will do great!
