For my 2 cents worth, I'd go for it. I chucked my last job of 15 years at age 50 and went for my own deal. It paid off and obviously know I did the right thing. When I was much younger I turned down two opportunities in different parts of the country. I always wonder what might have been.

If that 10% cut is going to hurt bad, get a part-time job at Home Depot or something just to tide you over. You know what you have now and you don't like it.

Go for it mon.
