I hope you're trolling, because this sounds like the worst decision ever.
Most famous authors either struggled to survive on their writing income, or had day jobs.
Frank Herbert spent most of his life working in the publishing industry.
Herman Melville had an endless string of day jobs, some in teaching, some in the government. "Moby Dick" only sold a few thousand copies in his lifetime, and didn't become a best-seller, and part of the western canon, until well after his death.
Philip K. Dick, despite writing 44 novels, only managed to see real money after selling the movie rights to "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" (which became "Blade Runner'), but passed away before he could enjoy his good fortune.
Edgar Allan Poe and Franz Kafka died penniless.
My day job sucks too, and manages to leave me too tired to write most of the time, but it pays the bills.
