I wonder if seeing articles like these annoys the vast majority of people (underrepresented on HN of course) who are not comfortable enough with their finances or in life in general to do something as risky as this.
This narrative of people quitting jobs en-masse is great fodder but just doesn't seem to come out in the numbers[0]. Is it that office work is just such a small percentage that it wouldn't show up? Are people who are quitting their jobs to drive for Uber or other such gig-economy jobs being counted (in my opinion they shouldn't be)?
