I'm amazed by how many people's reactions to this are shouting about how irresponsible it is. I don't see the author saying that he's decided he'll never work again, just that while he has enough in the bank to cover him, he's going to pursue other interests. Someone with the experience he clearly has should at the very least be able to get a job pretty quickly should he need to, so why not embrace being able to choose not to work for a while?
