Technically I started before I quit ... something that I highly recommend any other entrepreneur to do. However you could definitely pull it off with 6 months money although 12 months would be better :) A few months after going on my own I also landed a contract dev job that helped me make it an additional 6 - 8 months and attend some events I wanted to. I did the dev work at night and then just worked on my project during the day. If you are all-in on your new project though, you should be able to make it though. Just make sure you already have that new computer or whatever tools you'll need to get started. I've found a nice computer always boosted my productivity and made me feel better :)
