However, do realize that this number would have to carry me over through an entire calendar year. I've made 5k in a month before and contemplated quitting, but I honestly wouldn't quit until a). my campaign was so overwhelming that I had to quit or b). my one year average in profits was at 15k/month. Anyone who has a hint of affiliate marketing experience knows that your campaign can go from amazing to shit in less than a week, so why settle for anything less than a number 3x your monthly paycheck? That would be my rule of thumb. Being able to cover your financial BEE-hind (rent,mortgage,utils,car payments,hometown buffet runs, etc.) 6 months after you quit your job would be nice. Anyhow, be sure to check out my upcoming posts about affiliate marketing and what the experts fail to tell you. -Vu In short, 15k/month would be great.

Even if they complain, they would miss it. Personally, $4k/m and I would be fine. It all depends how many hours your working on this. I am the kind of guy who works in bursts. I may work all day and night for 3 days then do nothing for 3 days - but that is ok. If you have to work non stop to make this money then the benefits are kind of lost.

I am 22, still live at home with no expenses. So that would be a good starting figure! for me I would have to be making at least $4000 a month. I am 22, still live at home with no expenses.

For me, my "quit my job" number is $1 million total in the bank. I could live on the interest and any day-to-day money would be extra.

You get to attend meetings with top people, party and meet new people. I am not married as well so that might be another reason :P I have already achieved the quit number but I wont my day job due to other benefits like you explained.

I already quit my job. $150 day made me quit my part-time job I had for 2 years. $10,000 a month is good enough, but if I can make that I'll make $50,000 a month. Currently I am at $150/day which is $4,500 a month I’m 21 living with my dad. I already quit my job. $150 day made me quit my part-time job I had for 2 years.

I could live just fine off 2-3k a month. to have a nice house, car and insurance i would be happy with 5,000 a month. Its up to you wither you want to stay in a high expensive area for living like California Where just a basic nice 3-4 bed room house goes for a million or two, here you can get a 4-5 bedroom house on top of the mountain thats like 5,000 squarefeet for a million dollars. Even if i had the chance and the money to move to california right now with global warming, earthquakes, etc. Right now California right now seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Buy a vacation home elsewhere. Pay it off right away with your income should only take 3-5 years so if something does turn sour you can leave and you know your financially secure and have a home to fall back on just incase the online world turns sour. I'd actually look into real estate right now. They say its a bad time to buy but house prices are falling and people are selling there homes left and right. You would be surprised what kind of deals you could get right now. 2 story 5 bedroom house here for 160,000$ in a rich neighborhood. Thats a steal!
