I am not trying to be a downer, but I am sure that is how I will come off. I do not doubt that it happens, but have you ever meet any of them? Moreover, have you ever taken the time to talk to those who risked it all and lost? To pursue a course of action without even exploring the possible risks is not prudent. Will you know all the risks? No. But knowing some of the risks helps you prepare for them both mentally and physically. I also suspect that by quitting your job one becomes increasingly motivated by hunger. But, I also suspect, that some may become overly desperate and cause permanent damage to their possible standard of living.
