I want to leave my main job and go full time with my little investigative gig. Ive talked about it with boss # 2 and shes all for it. She offered more $ and I can make probably close to what Im making with the 2 jobs I have now.
Id be giving up my 401K
4 weeks vacation + holiday's
A substantial life ins. policy on myself for my wife.
The 401K I can live without, I can manage my own $.
The vacation is a tough one. I cant really put a $ figure on the value of that kind of time off. With the new gig Id be starting over at the low end of that.
Ins. policies can be bought but Im in a group policy and its dirt cheap.
Im not sure if these 3 things are whats stopping me or not. Theres something else but I really dont know what it is.
Im afraid but I dont know what of.

Nomad's A Basket Case
Nomers, you're in a bit of a pickle.
Those cons you listed are a good start.
How about listing the reasons why you want to leave your main job and take on this one? That might help flesh things out a bit.
I'm in no position to give anybody financial advice, but I raised an eyebrow when you mentioned losing the 401K. But if you feel you have it covered that's good.
Life insurance. I have heard it said it's a waste of money. I think that's a personal decision. I know without my mom's life insurance, my dad and I would have had no way to afford her service. Just a thought. We live pretty close to the bone though.
Vacations...hard call. Would you be setting your own hours at the new job eventually to where you could give yourself a vacation? Do you go anywhere on your vacations or do you just relax at home?
No offense, just tossing this out there- are you in any kind of "midlife crisis" that's making this idea look extra attractive? You have to be honest with yourself on this one.
Otherwise, it might help us to know why you are considering doing this, and then maybe we can figure out what that gnawing feeling is coming from.

No its not a crisis at all.
Its damned hard work and I feel like crap all the time.
Im sore, I hurt, I walk horizontally sometimes.
Back, knees, shoulders, I feel old doing what Im doing now.
Plus I loathe it.
I have a chance to do something completely different and I get to use my mind (such as it is) for a change rather than my back.

Are you sure the job's going to be around for the forseeable future? It sounds like a shoestring budget, and times will get rougher before they get better.

Excellent Nomad! Those seem like very sound reasons to do something different. This thing that's holding you back, could it maybe just be a fear of change? Most people have some degree of discomfort when they think about making changes just because humans are creatures of habit.
Also, is your investigative job dangerous?

The work is there, no question.
People will never stop defaulting on loans and we thrive on a bad economy.
Sounds shitty but I didnt put those people in that position.
The economy is bad for everyone but my credit rating is mid 700's.
In fact the main job is getting bad.
Most of us expect the worst within a year.

I don't know enough about what it is that you want to do Nomad, but sometimes to get ahead 10 steps, you have to take a few steps back and not fear failure. I did this when I was age 31, gave up security for a big question mark and took a few steps back. I was scared, and there was pressure and a fear of failing, but it worked out and I have never been sorry.

change - your hesitant a change can be scarey - your hesitating on the list of pros & cons - oh geez is this the right thing to do?? YES
Your body is saying change - so leave the safety net and jump.
There will always be work as a detective - you'll never be out of work.
New job- do you have structured hours? actual office to report in - are you paid Salary - Hourly - or by job?
If you leave your current job on good terms - you'll always have a job and a great referral.
you have to be happy & Healthy - money difference , it's only money
moneys not everything, and you don't need anything anyway - just a job you'll enjoy..
When you 1st mentioned this new job - I thought along the lines of a process server (part time job) wow detective - I'd love that job
you'll be great at this Nomad..

If you don't know what it is, then it is something to be concerend about. Don't make a leap as you are likely to regret it and you can't manage your own money as efficiently as within a 401(k) and if there is an employer match you are even farther behind right from the start.
You will miss the vacation either financially or simply because of work life balance.
Depending on the type of policy, you could probably match it with a term policy.
What about health insurance?
How many and what kind of hours will you work on the new job?
I just retired after 47 years with the same company and I was in Human Resources so I saw people and their job decisions all the time and many made with a great deal of regret later.

nothing naive about it..
I 'm aware a 401k can be rolled over & invested
Without assuming - perhaps Nomad is insured thru his wife (health Ins.).
His body can't do his current job any more - which he hates his current job..
so it's get another job, be happy or go on Social Security Disability soon when his body gives out, and we all know S.S. pays great..
regret - nothing wrong with trying - and as I stated, leaving on good terms from a long term employer - or Nomad could perhaps take a leave of absence from his current job & try his new job.
sure it's risky/scarey, that's life.
Perhaps I have a care free attitude - I've taken alot of my own leaps and always landed on my feet - no regrets - never unemployed - always happy.
Quinn - Accountable also told Nomad to take the jump - you don't want to pick on Account ?
Go for the change Nomad

Patsy makes some good points and so do the lingerers--those who do whatever for security's sake. In the end it's up to you and your family.:-6
When you go to your new job, if you take it, I'm sure your work load will increase. Not knowing exactly what you do, will you be sitting more, in cars or in the office? Walking more, stalking in the heat or cold?
You can always do one of those pre paid funeral deals and get that over with if you get any sort of pay for when you leave your first job.
As someone in a relative field, I have to ask, will you or do you have access to all the goodies that help you get the job done? Access to certain privileged information that makes the job easier? That is a very important deal breaker as that creates more work for you, ie, running around looking for info that could be done in the office.
Best of luck with your decision. If nothing else, you have to be happy in your work or that affects everything else in your life. Including and most important, your kinky sex life!! LOL

Nomad RJ pretty much asked the question I would ask. If you can make more $$$ and enjoy the new job more DO IT and don't look back. Your still young now is the time, you may never get another chance and will regret it for the rest of your life. Knowing you, you will figure it all out and make the right decision. 
[QUOTE]You can roll the 401k into an IRA. Are you vested in the plan? Thats a more important question in my mind.
You can take the current years vacation while you begin the new job. Just make sure you return to work for at least 1 day so you don't disqualify yourself for the payment of vacation time.(smart idea)
As your retirement acct increases, you should be reducing life insurance anyway, so thats not really a problem, even though its a group plan and is a benefit. Term life insurance is pretty cheap anyway.
Doesn't the other employer offer any benefits, and do you think the employment is as secure as the current job?(need to ask yourself this)[/QUOTE]

Well I always say you only get one chance at this life so if you feel the need for change, do it. Life is way too short to sit weighing up pro's and cons where your personal health and wellbeing is concerned. If its more money, your not compromising your standard of living. Infact from what you say you will be expanding your life span if your fulltime job makes you feel so bad.

There is no such thing as security Brian. We have to make our own destiny.
You know I can relate to the physical damage part. Its only fear of the unknown that is stopping you. Sounds like an adventure to me. Once your on the new job long enough, and have a strong track record, you will be able to tell them you are taking time off for vacation. It may be unpaid, but with the increase in money, you can save for your own vacation. Go.

I think you should keep the private eye job on the side-does the time you spend with it interfere with family life? Time off? Do you know why you want to make it full time? (it must be lots of fun, it sounds like it)
I look at things as the primary wage earner-I keep my part-time jobs because they are, 1. needed for income, 2. I like them alot. I teach my college classes-and my music. Oh, I would like that full time, have wanted that all my life. But I know it is not sensible for me to do that. So I keep it a part time staff position, get my fill of orchestra and music and all that. But I am older than you, I think 8 years until I retire. Than I can keep the part time jobs, and write all day long. (that only makes a little money, in fact, I try not to make money at it and give it away because of taxes)
This is something to think about-you need to be happy with your employment. Lots of people have left good advice-you need to decide for yourself the pros and cons either way. But be happy in your choice, that is the most important thing.

You have a chance to do something you enjoy.
We spend a hell of a lot of time at work - life is way too short to be miserable in your job.
If it makes you happy Brian and it's what you want, do it.
It's your life ... GO! GO! GO! :-6:-4
You already know this but I'm with Pinks here!! :-6:driving::-4
I'm gonna stick my two pence worth in if you don't mind
I may be simple but here it is...

Oh i hope it goes great for you, and im pleased you took the risk. I always say you can never regret something you did, only something you didnt do. heres my reasoning,, if you decide to go for it and it turns out bad, the wrong decision, then well you tried it and now you know! If you decide not to take the risk you would never find out how it would have turned out and always be saying i should have gone for it, regetting the fact you didnt. you never know unless you try!:D:-4 Good luck Nomad:-4

Ive been alternating between oh crap what have I done ? and elation.
Not anymore, my doubts are gone.
Ive always done the best I could at whatever it was I was doing and this will be no different.
