If I (and others on this forum) were to quit our wage-earning jobs.. we would be foregoing earnings and that would represent an opportunity cost. In the beginning, the candidate is usually on their own and so you would have to be self funded to some degree. Also, donors and backers (with deep pockets) do not want to go to your modest 2 bedroom unit in the suburbs.. hence the need for money. Virtually NO ONE starts a MAJOR campaign without Party backing in ADVANCE including substantial funding from the Party. Very few pols quit their current elected office just to start a campaign. That's why virtually EVERYONE who runs for MAJOR office already has a political office position from which they get an income while running.
