VeryHappy, the cool thing is that the planning and preparation is fun, and very interesting. And since you can do it while still with a traditional employer, the stress is somewhat mitigated.

As to money, I’ve discovered that having a ton of money in the bank does NOT make up even slightly for being miserable; comparatively, being very, very excited and happy and in complete control of one’s destiny makes a dangerously low bank balance completely irrelevant - I know that probably doesn’t make a lot of sense but I swear it’s true.
