As Luke says... but I'd temper that with whether you would be able to get a similar permie role easily if you left.
I jumped head first into contracting a little over 10 years ago, leaving a 60k base/85k package permie role and actually took a minor pay cut overall at first. Now at 38 I could retire if I wished. It wouldn't be a great standard of living, but better than many and certainly enough to keep food on the table.
I did it because I believed in my ability and knew I could go back if it went wrong.
