I did it with less than 4 months savings. Had a pretty good credit card though ;-) Seriously, just jump when you're ready. It helps if you have at least one client or job lined up (helps placate the anxiety) and you're getting out to meetups or places you can meet potential clients / source work. I'm not sure of your industry, but for me the months following Christmas are always a little lean - busy before and it picks up about March. Just bear that in mind. Good luck!
