• Your partner will think you're crazy and will start judging you.
• You'd have to give up your job, and you might not be able to find another if things do not work out.
• You'd make yourself unemployed by leaving a gap on your curriculum vitae / profile.
• You'd have to take out a huge loan, which would lead in a never-ending loop of enormous debt.
