> Stop working for 3 years or so, enjoy that 3 years of freedom. Build something, maybe it will take off. The more cash and runway you have to build something, the more cash and runway you'll use. This is not necessarily a good thing. It could lead to over-engineering, a feeling of security which keeps you from talking to users early enough, and just a lot of potential for wasting time and money in quantities you would otherwise not be comfortable with. If you spend 3 years time and all of your savings and don't succeed, you may become further depressed and your project derailed. FWIW, I'd suggest starting a project on the side and continuing to make incremental progress. It's hard, and doesn't always feel good, but the pressure and lack of time will push you to make things happen faster and get creative.
