Let me tell you what, I walked away from everything that had been built up to a pretty awesome empire financially. No, I wasn't "rich" per se, but we were pretty financially stable, but when I chose to walk away I had nothing. I couldn't be a partner in the firm as we had no "legal contract" with the "business", and so I walked away with no money. This was difficult but you can do it. Sleep in your car if you have to, reach out to family and friends, where there's a will there's a way to walk away from it all with no money!
