I quite my job over a year ago with ~$50,000 USD saved up thinking it would last a year. I thought all I needed to be successful was committing myself entirely to my ideas and eventually I'd become financially free.
Well... about 10 months in I had made $15 from my projects and my bank account was at ~$10,000.
Money anxiety took over and I began looking for work.
Quickly I actually found part-time work via Hackernews' monthly Who's Hiring threads. I've bounced around to a few clients now, each paying me slightly more than the last, and it's worked out very well.
I now work 20-30hrs per week and have tons of time and energy to work on my side projects as well.
All while seeing my bank account grow.

If you’re considering entrepreneurship, don’t quit your job. Build it as a side project first. Hindsight is 20/20, but all my successful efforts were small-time side experiments first. While being (somewhat) safe due to an actual income.
