    At the moment i have normal job and im bored of that.

    I want to quit, do something else, concentrate on my websites, improve them, learn php...mysql...ajax...etc....

    These days I can learn php and improve websites only at the weekend. Not to much time.

    My plan is like that:

    1. Quit job.

    2. Take a loan or borrow money from my friends, family because i need money for rent, food... but there is a risk of course.

    3. Learn php, mysql every day. I will create better websites in futere and make more money online.

    4. Improve quality of my websites

    5. After few monnts i will have enough money from sites for rent, food, entertainment. I need minimum 800$/month for all so this isnt too much.

    6. This is my dream... but there is a risk...

    or...

    I going to stay at my job :( and work hard for another half year and learn nearly nothing.

    What I can do?

    Well under most circumstances, it will take more than a few months to start generating a decent income to live off, most webmasters use their online earnings as a passive income. Also with this kind of business, anything can go wrong, for example your revenue website(s) can drop massively in SERPs, you could get de-index, banned by your adversiting company through no fault of your own, once your can establish mutiple revenue streams, then quit your job, best of luck to you.

    work for a year, grow funds and invest those funds into good online business, buy good adsense websites etc. build your network and then in one years time you will have sufficient funds to support your life without your job and you won't have to ask for money from your family and friends!

    Then from the next year, start full time on the net, learn and improve your online business :)

    My opinion is keep your job at the moment while improving your websites. If you want to quit your job so much then do it when you start to earn at earn at least $900 - $1000 per month. At least it'll cover your monthly expenses. If you earn less than that and you still want to quit your job, get a part time job, nothing serious. That's just my 2 cents.

    Thank you for opinions.

    At present im earning around 1000 pounds/m from my job and another 100 pounds/m online.

    I think i will stay at my job for another months.

    The problem is not that boring job. I only dream about full time online business.

    The more I will know, the better money I will make from websites.

    Dont leave your job that would be the worst mistake you can do, work 8 hours per day and study 9 hours per day if you really want to improve you will belive me you can all depends how bad you really want to do it, all comes down to how bad you want to do it, again do not leave your job.

    Start waking up at 4am every morning, this way you will have 4-5 hours every day to work on your websites. This time would be more than enough to grow your income higher and once you are making more from your websites than your real job, quit and go full time.

    I would say for now keep your job and start learning the skills you will need to make money creating websites.

    Maintaining a full time online business will often require that you work longer hours than you did at your day job. Of course you can outsource some of the work, but that is only feasible once you start making a decent income.

    Don't give up the day job until you KNOW you can afford to live without it. If you take out loans, if things don't work out (and it seems you don't have a clear path every day anyways), you'll be screwed, probably taking multiple months to pay them back anyways.

    Why not do it the smart way, save up money from the day job until you have enough to keep yourself supported when you finally quit:?
