Same for me, I once left a job with nothing lined up and 5 years of living expenses in the bank. I went rather stir crazy although I lasted 6 months before needing to find something to work on. Would have been quicker but I had a bunch of friends with flexible schedules to hang out with. I like doing things and solving problems but generally lack enough self-drive to do so on my own except on sporadic projects. A day job give me a focus, external motivation and deadlines which I actually enjoy having.
