Definitely listen to StartUpsForTheRestofUs. Do not leave your job! There are lots of ways to begin your journey to having your own company/startup. Being employed is a great source of bootstrap funding. I also highly recommend @DHH startup school talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY You have plenty of time. Save up and use your 'extra time' wisely. Rob's stair step approach is a great way to get started.
