As someone who's already working on a side-project for close to 2 years, I totally get you. You have no idea how many times I wanted to quit my regular job and continue with my project only (then reality kicks in and i realize that I wouldn't last more than 4-6 months). I've invested pretty much $3-4K/month on my side project (besides me putting the work). Now, with covid, I'm still working on it, but I'm investing <$1K/month. Please read ahead: Let me give you some advice, having worked (and still working) 22+ years. I've had my share of stupid code, trust me. I do understand your emotional state of mind, been there a few times. This is no time to quit. What you have, if I've done my math, is roughly 11K pounds. That is, to put it mildly, very very little. Things may not work out as you expect, and you may find out that what you think is 8-10 months, will end up being 6 months or less. Will you have the emotional power to resume yourself to only those expenses? Then what? You'd end up needing a job in pretty much really bad times. Things will be bad (probably even get worse), and my take is you'll need a lot of leeway to be able to get a decent job and restart. My advice is to work at least 3-6 more months, and save up all you can. Then, you can certainly get on that project you're enthusiastic about. Hope this helps.
