Can confirm. I've gone full-time gigging musician. Don't get me wrong, I chose this path after exhausting all other options because it's the only career I can stomach, but when you make your hobby your job, your hobby becomes your job.
I've managed to pay rent and bills, but I still got credit card debt from the beginning when I was really scraping by. Every month feels like I'm unemployed until I get saved by a big gig, but it is quite terrifying still.
