Well, given that definition, mine was $20k. That's how much I had in savings when I quit my job in 2002 and bought a one-way ticket to Cape Town. I've been traveling ever since, working the odd contract or freelance job from the beach to keep the bank account replenished, and doing Startup stuff to keep the skills up. I've been living the rest of my life the way I want for nearly 8 years now. Wow. Thanks for putting it in those terms!
