Quit my job, took equity on my house, cash out my 401K, almost lost my wife. It is almost a necessity to suffer to realize your dream. No pain no gain.
So the question is how much risk will you take? If you are not willing to leverage everything you have then, I would invest in a real estate. Worste case is you have a place to live.
