I jumped in and quit my job - but if I went back I wouldn't do it again. My wife kept her job, which kept us afloat (barely) but we went in a lot of debt because of it. I would have been a lot better off that first year just volunteering as an intern for another investor before fully quitting.

I always suggest people find whatever job makes them the happiest and do that, investing on the side until you make more from the investment than your job. Then the choice is yours whether you want to quit or not. That's true financial freedom.
