If you're playing for a sole living, its VERY difficult to play MTTs with a family, and you probably need in excess of 1 year's living expenses in your savings account to even attempt it. As a single guy, you can "live on the edge" with just a few months savings, knowing that you have other options if MTTs dont work.
