That's probably a rather common situation for someone getting ready to take the plunge. I'd quit my job right now if I had 50K to get off the ground. You could probably live off that for a whole year, working full time on your idea(s).

I've also got a few ideas, ranging from simple to grandiose. My plan is to start with the simplest (fastest to create, simplest revenue model, smallest potential) as a moonlighting effort. I hope that it can generate enough to keep me alive to buy time to start pursuing the grandiose ideas. YMMV.
