I did that a year ago. My last day at work was 2 weeks after my son was born. You can read about it here: http://nathanbarry.com/i-quit-my-job/ http://nathanbarry.com/i-quit-my-job/ What made it possible was that I spent an entire year before hand designing and developing apps on the side. I got to the point where I was averaging at least $2,500 a month from the App Store, which was half of what I made at my design job. I knew with that as a base I could make up the difference with consulting. The other really important thing I did was save a lot of money. I took all the profits from an entire year of selling apps, plus my regular savings, and had just over $30,000 in savings. Those two things gave me the confidence to leave, even with a newborn baby. Now, 1 year later, I've written two books (one comes out next week), released more apps, and make more money than I did at the day job. All while having more flexibility. If you want to talk further, my email address is in my profile. Good luck!
