Should I quit my full-time job to pursue art, and how much money do I need saved?

Only you can answer this—don’t ask others to validate the decision because everyone’s financial situation is different. Do the math: How many months can your savings cover your mortgage and essential expenses? How much do you need to bring in monthly to make this viable? Have a concrete number and timeline. It’s important to have a financial cushion before making the leap. Calculate exactly how long your nest egg will last and what minimum income you need to generate. Don’t jump with no safety net, but also don’t wait for perfect conditions that will never come.
