Lani, too funny! I couldn't pursue my art education if it weren't for my husband, either. Even so, it is very hard to live on his income alone - especially when I used to make a few bucks.
Robert, I would suggest you begin with a list of must haves, like to haves and don't really needs when it comes to living expenses. Do you have to live where you live, drive what you drive, eat where you eat, wear what you wear, buy what you buy? Decide what you're willing to give up to get what you want. It's hard in our society as we're tricked into thinking we NEED a lot of things we really don't. (Some people live on this planet with little more than a stick and a loin cloth!) Once you've pared down your budget, figure out what you need to do to pay for it, and go for it. Worst case, you might have to keep your job for a while. You might have to paint at night and on weekends, but you only get one shot on this rock, you might as well spend it doing what you want to do. You can find a way, if you really want to.
I read a couple of books that REALLY helped me to change my life. First, "Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow," by Marsha Sinetar and "Wishcraft - How to Get What You Really Want," by Barbara Sher.
Good luck!
