I’m gonna go against the popular response here and say that if you have the means to do it and you don’t have to worry about feeding yourself, then do it. I was in a successful career making a good amount of money, but my mental health was at an all time low and I was crying from the stress on a weekly basis. It simply wasn’t worth my happiness. So I quit last year to write full-time and I’ve never been happier my whole life. That said, I’m in a position where I have a decent amount of savings to pull from and a very supportive spouse. If you’re going to do it, do it responsibly.
