Yea, try everything you can think of and good luck! But my 2cents is to do these things while having a job. You'll have positive cash flow for financial security and if things don't work out then you'll at least still be able to afford to go out with friends, travel, etc. Just find a dev job that doesn't demand too much (or if it does, push back regularly or increase scrum estimation), and work on your side projects after work. I was in your position once, never made it, don't think the sacrifice was worth it, so I really recommend this.
