"How do you guys who have made the jump make the decision to leave a situation like this?" For me it was easy. It's about the freedom, not the money.

When I finally made the switch 3 years ago, my life changed for the better. I love waking up every day and working on my own projects. If you have a family and no savings, it's a different story.
