Here's my predicament :

I've got an online venture that I'm working day & night on that has SERIOUS POTENTIAL, but will take more time & effort building my audience. However I'm running out of savings....down to my last $5k.

I just got a job offer for a "decent" wage.....though I'd have to show up to a friggin' office 8am-5pm, M-F. My plan was to suck it up for 2 mos and put enough money in my pocket to keep going for another 6-9mos. There's no way I'd last more than 2 mos in a cubicle.

OR -

I can get a loan up to $35k from a peer to peer site. I have good credit & no debt...though taking the loan would create new debt, which sucks, as I finally fixed my credit after years of effort.

So should I suck it up and do the cubicle for 2mos, or take a $25k-$35k loan that will allow me to keep working 24/7 on my biz from ANY location that would last at least 1.5yrs and push the crap out of me to work even harder, as I'd have a loan to worry about, constantly nipping at my heals.

I'm currently MISERABLE where I am. I'm in San Francisco...tired of COLD FOGGY SUMMERS, and all the pretenscious hippy, Prius driving aholes who live & breath political correctness. I just want to get out of here, work from SoCal where it's sunny, hopefully by the beach.

If I took the job, I would continue to be stuck here. If I took the loan, I'd have automatic freedom of location. The only drawback is I'd be putting myself in debt, AND banking on my business to start making headway. As a backup, I used to buy & sell cars from the auto trader in college back in the early 90's. I paid my college tuition that way. I'm thinking I could do a few deals on the side while I continue working on my biz to help payback the loan.

Any thoughts would be really appreciated! I'm supposed to start in 2 weeks and I'm friggin' dreading it! Also, it took me forever to finally get a job...so that's also making me a little nervous, passing it up in favor of a loan so I can leap full forward into trying to make my company work. The "safe" me says "don't go into debt, suck it up and take the job" - the "risky" me says take the loan, buy & sell a few Benz's to help pay back the loan ( at least I'd stay in style ), get out of SF, and try like a mofo to "make it" online with my ventures.

What would you do?
