I have decided the year i quit day job is 2013, not after reading this article, but i have been planning it for the past 2 years.

2 years might seem like a lot of time but i started from absolute 0. Now i have few mobile apps in market through which i earn 50% of my sal every month.

Making lists really helps, but even if you loose the list your passion will find a way to get you back to the list.

Keeping this as wallpaper helps too http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/5536250_700b.jpg

Edit: And the only reason i want to quit is freedom

Good for you for hanging in there. 2 years is not long at all considering it takes the average person at least 6 to 8 years to get an education and build any kind of career.

When I made the decision to switch I planned 3 years but life got in the way and eventually it took me 5 years before I was there. People sometimes comment 5 years is a long time to achieve your goals and I always answer that doing something you don't enjoy for 40 years is a lot longer.
