Debate: Is a steady paycheck worth hating your job or should you chase something risky?

Honestly, I hit a breaking point last month. I was doing my delivery route on a Tuesday, stuck in traffic for 45 minutes, and my boss texted me some crap about being 2 minutes late. Made me think about my buddy Marco who quit his warehouse job to start his own landscaping thing. He's barely making rent some months but he posts videos of him just smiling working outside. I got a kid and a car payment though so I can't just bounce. Tbh, has anyone here actually made the jump from stable but miserable to something sketchy and been okay?

Boss texting you about 2 minutes late? That's insanity!

Dude same here. I started keeping mine in the glovebox during work hours and it's like a weight got lifted. No more checking every buzz or feeling obligated to reply instantly. You try it with any other distractions yet?
