Anyone took the plunge? Had enough in the savings, faith, and confidence in their-selves to say f it? What was your age and how did it turn out?

Yes. Two weeks before getting married too. Bitch manager threw me under the bus too many times and I told her to shove it. I should have waited though as she was fired soon after.

Yeah, when I was 26 and hated the place I worked at the time.
Did some freelance work, traveled, and before long I found another job in my field... took a slight pay cut, but worth it.

I've been debating doing this for a while now. Just not sure how it looks to future employers.

When he reached the new world Cortez had his men burn their ships therefore they were well motivated.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I'm just ready to get away from the city I'm in and move back closer to home.
Problem is, there isn't much of a market for workers with my experience other than where I am. It would also be difficult for me to go interview in another city with my current schedule.
I'm thinking I should just go for it, but it does make me nervous.

As long as you've got some money saved up, go for it.

I wasn't happy with the company I was at before, so I put in my two weeks. Ended up with a smaller company but a lot more freedom and less micromanagement, then moved on and up from there. Definitely made the right decision.

I got married without a job too. Boy that sucked. We were living in San Francisco and moving to NOLA. My wife had a job back here and I worked up until day we left. It took a few months before I found another good job. I fricking applied at every antique store on Magazine...man that was the life. I should have left off my education, and work experience for that matter, that's for sure. Caused some awkward conversations.

All the time in my 20's. I was desperately seeking a career that I would like. I took the, "do what you love and you'll never have to "work" a day in your life" mantra to heart.
Now I realize its more like, "If you find something that doesn't make you want to blow your brains out after 3 months, hang on to it."

I did it at about 28. I'm in a job I like much better now, but did have to blow through some savings.
I wouldn't generally recommend it, but my firm was doing shite I just didn't want my name to be associated with.

Several times. No regrets. I can deal with a little financial insecurity to get past a job I find no interest in or have a dislike for.
