I've always 'liked' working ~20 hrs a week for a company and the rest of the time on my own projects. Not because a regular job is nice, but it helps to stay in touch with normie world and it's nice to have colleagues. It leaves plenty of time to pursue my own projects plus with the income of the 20 hrs I can pay all my bills. This way I don't have to stress about making money and I can do whatever I want on the side.
You might want to consider this option instead of choosing either a full time job or being an indie maker.

@jelmerdeboer thanks for the reply. With my current job, I have to work 40hrs. And I don't think they will agree If I want to work only for 20hrs.
If you have to choose, choose being a maker.
I always wanted to be a maker. But I'm also scared sometimes. Because I don't know how to survive until I start making money.
There are two schools of thought:
1) save money in your regular job to help start being a maker
2) quit and be a maker and than you have to make money
