And to say about myself, I worked as a developer for about 4 years, reached a position higher than peers my age and experience level usually reach, so it gave me confidence that I can actually learn and progress.

Some time ago I started seeing people bragging about how they made millions after starting their own thing. I knew that is probably not real, or at least not common, but I live in a country with smaller cost of living so for me even something like 1k a month would be enough to get by, I thought at least that might be more realistic.

Around 5 months ago I got fed up with my job. I was depressed and burnt out, felt stuck and as if I made no progress in a while. So I decided to give it a try. Worked on my own thing for a couple of months, decided I can't keep doing both so quit my job with about 2 years worth of savings and started working solo.

Currently nothing is actually making me money, and I'm getting a bit tired, but I still feel so much better than I was at my old job. I'm here asking this because it feels like people here are a lot more 'genuine' and might actually give better advice or more honest stories, so I'm curious
