I quit a job of 7 years with no plan of what to do next. My wife (but wasn't a wife yet) had a reasonable job, and we figured if ever there was a time to take a risk, that was it. For three years now, we've lived on the philosophy of "if we stop making money today, we have X months left before I have to go get a job". At the end of each month we reassess that, and fortunately we're still doing ok. If nothing else, my work is a hobby that makes us money. I doubt I'll ever get rich from fivesecondtest.com, but it's something to be proud of, and that's more than you'll get working for someone else. If you think you COULD get another job in a pinch, then really you have zero risk providing you have either a decent amount of money saved or have few financial commitments.
