Do you already have a side project that is generating revenue?

I'm sure he'll chime in, but Patrick was making more from BCC than he was from his job by the time he quit. http://diycomputerscience.com/blog/post/2011/07/01/create-a-...

In all seriousness, good luck!

I seem to recall that patio11 built BCC up in his spare time before making the leap. In other words, grab the next vine before you let go of the last one...

Why can't I find a link or description to them anywhere in your post?

I’m the breadwinner with a wife and daughter to support, My wife is due to have our second child in 8 weeks, We’re currently building a house, and the builder’s bills will soon arrive

I may be the only person to say it, but I don't think quitting your day job at this time is a good idea.

Best of luck! I love the start-up life even though I've seen success and failure ... at least it isn't boring.

Good on ya mate! I'm a fellow Aussie who's just done the same thing - six days to go until I can build my robots full time.
