Ask HN: How did you escape your safe meaningless 9-5 job?

How did you escape your meaningless 9-5 job to work full time on what you wanted to work on[1]? Did you have a strategy or was it a leap of faith? Did you regret it later on? Are you happy with the decision you made? Where do you think you would be today if you had decided to stay in that job? If you are currently in a job like that, then do you have any plans of escaping to work on your passion[1]? if yes, then please share your plan. [1] Your passion may be a dream job, a special course (masters, software bootcamp, course in another field like marketing or airplane pilot etc.) or a startup. It just has to be something you love but are not doing because you think you're job is currently the safest option for you.
