For anyone that have people who depend on them, like kids, freelancing deserves a lot of thought before going full time. Don't forget, freelancers don't get holiday pay, sick pay, or any type of benefit you might get when you work for someone so it can be a little more risky. To have a good set of clients before going freelance full time is a must. For me, with no dependants, it was an easier choice.

But on the other hand, I'm not a full time freelancer. I was fortunate to work for a company with a virtual office for 5 months, but soon I'm going back to working at the office. I don't have that big of a client list and not making enough money to be able to quit full-time day job altogether. When having a two years old baby at home, for me it's important to have a constant flow of income. But I do hope that one day I'll be freelancing or running my own company from home full time. I'm glad that it's working out for you. Full time freelancing is challenging, but it comes with lots of attractive benefits.
