From my own experience, I strongly recommend NOT to quit your day job. Try to run it at least for a year, then you will make a way better decision.
Did you pay your taxes already ? I wonder what
would be your after-tax income ? Again, $2.5k
is still very low even for Eastern Europe.
And if we are talking about non-EU member like Ukraine, Russia, Belarus or Moldova $2,500/month puts you firmly into the ranks of the higher class (except maybe in Moscow).
I am always a fan of a safety net but in the case of kreci the upside of continuing his path surely beats dedicating his resources to a full-time day job.
