Guys seriously need your SERIOUS advise on whether I should just stop learning Japanese or not after 8 months

The main reason I started learning Japanese was to be able to understand what's being said in the anime rather than completely saying, I need to know EVERYTHING

My Current Stats:

  • 1.1K Kanji (Meaning, On and Kun Yomi Readings)
  • 5.5k Vocab
  • Up to N2 Level Grammar
  • Listening practices have been a good help with spoken Japanese

At this point, I can watch anime without subtitles but not as MUCH understandable as in English but still I understand 70% of what's being said (Sometimes accent also disturbs the interpretation but that's fine)

I can also think about stuff in Japanese about whatever I want

I can read most of what shown in "Texting" between characters, Still there are a lot of words that I can't read but it's okay because it doesn't REALLY matter, the meaning of the unknown word is usually clear from context.

now I suppose I have reached my goal, Before that I was studying 7 hours a day (Anime 4-6 hrs and 2 hrs Anki)

Now the reason I want to quit is that I don't have time and I want to earn something for myself because I am at the age of 18 and I want to build something for me and my parents

Here is what I think my progress is over these 8 months

Of course the progress of hundred doesn't determine that I have completely learned the language but that graph was built using python so I wasn't able to do anything at all about it… Don't worry about Progress but look at graph

This is what I feel like what's going to happen even if I keep studying.

So, should I just quit and continue to watch anime so I won't forget and start earning something for myself?
