Thinking of going indie? Don't quit your job yet. Make a small game in your spare time (MAKE some time!), stick it on http://itch.io . Until it makes you $1,000 do not even THINK about quitting your job. Its way harder than it sounds.
Replying to @cliffski
the only thing I'd change into this advice is - wait until it makes you $200-250 a month CONSISTENTLY, because many games completely die off after the release month
