I did have ~40x my monthly expenses saved. I just spent them over the course of about 40 months!

I had no illusions about not working again, but I did do what retired people do: whatever the heck I wanted!



Sorry, I meant yearly expenses!!!!


I knew what you meant.


x is usually years, not months. I think that 3-4 years is closer to a long sabbatical.


I don’t think that changes my original point that if you find freedom to do whatever you want “dull” then you are the problem.
