Thanks for reading! I had a healthy stockpile of savings from working 10 years at various software jobs that paid well. I was at Google for the last 4 years, did consulting before that, and worked at Microsoft before that.

I'd like to do this (or at least take a sabbatical) like this in a decade - unfortunately saving as much as you seems difficult to impossible at my current trajectory. Did you ever write up how you managed your prior savings?

  I haven't written about it, but my strategy was very simple I just put all of my money into the Vanguard 500. For about 18 months before I quit, I started moving my money into less volatile savings like treasury bond funds.
