i have developed a simple criteria to help decide when it is time to quit my job.

at what lottery jackpot amount would you quit your job?

when things are going good my answer is usually around a million.

when things start to slip, i calculate what i would need to start my own business, $200,000.

when things start to suck, i calculate what i would need to support the family till another job can be safely found, $50,000.

when things suck, i calculate what it would cost to move back into my parents, $5,000.

eventually, you realize the winnings from a 1 dollar scratch off card is enough motivation to quit. that is when you quit.
