I have been working as a systems manager for a computer company for the past six years. I am really sick of my job. I want to leave and start my own company, even though I have no business experience. My wife, however, is discouraging me from leaving my job.

The problem is that I am making a good salary now. And, at first, I would never be able to bring in the same amount of money, not even close to it.

We just bought a new house and the mortgage payments are huge. I would like to move to a smaller house so that I could start my business. Then we could live on our savings till the business grew. But my wife is in love with the house and refuses to move.

She does not want me to quit the job under any circumstances. Maybe after the children are grown, she says. But the children are only eight and ten.

I've wanted to leave work for the past two years. I hate my boss and I am tired of working for somebody else. On the other hand, I don't want to upset my wife.

What do I do?
