I would love to be in the position financially where I could quit my job. I have 2 1/2 more years until I reach 30 years and can retire. However, now with cancer in my life I'll be working until I am able to receive Medicare (gotta have that insurance). It is such a personal decision to quit a job you enjoy. You need to do what will make you feel most comfortable and happy. Best of luck~
