I know business owners who have had months where they don't draw a paycheck because it was a bad month, and the choice is draw a paycheck, or fail to pay your overhead costs and sink the business.

The trade off is on good months they can rake it in. But no thanks. I like my consistent pay. I like knowing if the company truly "goes under" I'm out at most 2 weeks pay, and then I file for unemployment then find a new job.

I have no liabilities tied to the business. I can walkaway. The owner can't.
