Amy generally doesn't advise leaving your day job either (disclosure: I've been through her 30x500 course). Having said that, I'm in a similar situation (sole bread winner, 2 kids) and I'll probably be handing in my notice this week too. It's partly because the job was causing me debilitating levels of depression that I just couldn't work in my spare time. I'm planning to work as a freelance rails developer (got my first client on board already) and work on my 30x500 product. I found Jonathan Fields' book 'Uncertainty' quite enlightening and motivating.

Thanks for posting! I love hearing from amy's grads. I'm really seriously thinking of doing her course next time around. And i can totally relate to your 'debilitating' job, whereas in my case it was causing stress which, again, limits the amount you can (without being a superhuman stoic) achieve in your spare time. PS please blog about your experiences freelancing and applying amy's principles, i'd love to read about it. Congrats on your first client!
