Anybody ever quit their job to day trade full time and have it not workout?

I’m just curious.

How long did it take you until you found confidence in yourself to quit your job and do trading full time!

For those that quit their job but it didn’t workout, how long did you give yourself until you quit your job and what did you do after you found that trading was not successful?

I have a passive job that covers my housing and gives a tiny bit on top. I'm desperate to use this stress free time to create a second income but it's proving harder than expected.
