Summary
While most people think having a "safety net" or a "back-up plan" is thoughtful, it can actually be a dangerous thing. If your safety net is something financially related, like taking money from your family, it can actually do more harm than good to you because now they have leverage over your life and the things you do. If you realize this and "cut-through" the safety net, you will be able to retake control of your life, do what you genuinely want to do and ultimately be happier for it! Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
