Contemplating this decision myself. Would love to hear others thoughts!

  Money turns into time tokens. Therefore reducing your cost of living = more time. It's a different way of thinking and I like it. The comfort & security that comes from a steady paycheck can go in an instant. Don't let that false security keep you stuck in the rat race. Nobody wants to pay for you if they don't have to. I went to someone else's startup to escape corporate then success turned it quite corporate as well. The process left me burnt. Now I contract and it's not all roses, but I would never go back to the office life. Corporate was unhealthy for me in mind body and spirit. You get lumpy, you drink more, you eat garbage, you sleep worse, potential back & cardiac problems down the road and most importantly sex dies. fwiw, my father was an alimony ridden fine artist and my step father was a senior partner at a big 4 accounting firm. My dad was a really happy, well read and interesting guy. My stepdad's life is textbook american dream perfection and it's a very sad and bland one.

    and where did he get the money to pay the alimony?

      He was the head of the art & architecture department at a women's college. Hence the alimony.
