How much in terms of millions in today’s dollars? For how many years does it last? Family? I’m in my mid 30s and I’m wondering if I can escape.

  Well that depends completely on how ingenious you can become in setting up passive income sources and what resources you already have. Most people can do it and of course if you are married you need the support of your spouse. It just won't work if they have a very materialistic lifestyle and like fancy stuff for example. If you have kids, it's tricky but again not impossible. I've known some people that do it with kids so it can be done. But assuming that is true, what skills do you have? Can you relocate? What do you consider essential? Feel free to email me if you want with your situation if you want. My opinion is this: it is easier than you think but it requires some very unusual thinking and taking leaps of faith, and yes, it involves a little bit of what society might consider "risky" but less risky than people think. It requires a bit of discomfort but mostly of the mental kind. My belief though is that IF you are smart enough with your life, you can certainly escape.

    I'd like to hear more about your story - did you write it down somewhere? What were these risky takes and what did you do? I know these things aren't playbooks you can just run along, but I find these stories uplifting :)

  It depends where and how you want to "escape". A million dollars will go a long way if you are single and living in Thailand. Won't go much if you have a family in London.
