In one sense, it’s switching from working one’s professional job to being a homemaker, a penny pincher, and an amateur investor. It could work and one may enjoy it better than a certain job. But isn’t it a better use of one’s time to switch to a related job, perhaps a part-time one, where one can deploy existing skills/education productively, and not worry too much about everyday’s expenses? Also, what would happen to one’s mental state when a bear market hits and the nest egg one depends on takes a big hit at the same time that the job market freezes up? Using the privilege of time to find out what one really loves to do and embark on a journey to master that and perhaps make a living out of it in future would be both more fulfilling and less risky in the long run.
