In similar situation, and am thinking of taking similar steps in next 6 months. I have a couple of projects that are coming to a close, and am planning to dig in to some previous projects/ideas and pursue them with more vigor. I'll keep myself open to consulting work and possible f/t job, but won't be pursuing it for a while. I'm very... "burned out" and need to stop - or at least slow down a lot. I've been fearful for years of taking my foot off the gas, unsure I could step back in to things. Ageism has seemed to be a thing among some of my colleagues/friends, so the older I get, the more nervous I get. But yeah... savings... similar - probably 2-3 years of cash on hand, but we're in the middle of some house remodeling. That may take it closer to 1.5-2 years when it's done. But I'm just so.. tired of the rat race and need some time off. A day at the beach doesn't really cut it. 3-4 days won't cut it, I don't think. I need some extended time on 'no work' or possibly at least 'reduced' work.
