I have a similar story, went from making 250k to 0 in 2019 just to reset my mental health. No kids, house paid off. It was more successful than I ever could have thought. Lockdown came and I decided to extend the sabbatical. Then everyone moved on from COVID but working still didn't feel right to me. So I still don't have a job, but my investments are supporting me, and my wife and I decided to have a child so now I'm a full time stay at home father. I never would have seen this for myself when I was trapped in the wage cycle.
