To not want to leave a stable job for this?

I'm in a decent paid job, don't particularly enjoy it but it pays the bills and I give it my all. It's not in the industry I wish to work in, jobs in that industry are very unstable at the minute and few and far between so me and a couple of friends have decided to set up our own business in that area, set up and paid for by a sponsor (a local businessman they both know). Now, friend one has told me that they can only get funding from the businessman which would cover just four months wages for each of us. We would have to rely on the business doing well for wages past that. I think it's very risky and I am reluctant to leave my job for it which friend one wasn't too happy at. I have said in the past that I'll leave for 12 months guaranteed wages but just four months I feel is too risky. Aibu?

What kind of work is it? Why do you need to leave your job to do it?

I think giving up salaried employment in this environment is the worst decision you could possibly make.

I'd rather be bored in a secure job than be living hand to mouth making my dream come true to be honest.
