What if X is close to 0?

But that's more than our current bankroll...?

This is the most logical response so far, imo.

Again, what if X is close to 0? Also, if there was little to no chance of getting a raise or any type of advancement in your job (which is typical of the jobs college students get)?

I agree, but perhaps that's because it's sometimes hard to be creative when there is a limited window of correct ways to do something and be successful.

This is soooooo wrong, but like you said it's just something you heard. There is so much more to it than "quit your job and see what happens", and the likelihood of succeeding with this approach depends heavily upon X.

There's much more to it than the strict math, DOUCY?
R u serious op? All you answer with is questions that infer that peoples answers are wrong. On the last two you just straight tell people their opinions are wrong... when this is a general opinion answer question. X is defined by each persons opinion. Also people are trying to tell you, your question sucks because it does. OP Heads up for rolls?
That's because I'm right, ldo.
