Comment on Thanks HN: Goodbye, Golden Handcuffs

Comments

how much cash do you have in savings? i'm thinking of doing the same thing.

Living Fat = 3 months, Living Lean = 12+ months. I'll use my 401k but not Roth IRA. Also have some equity/cashflow from a duplex that helps. FWIW, I woke up this morning feeling great on 4 hrs sleep and not worried about money at all - the prior six months mornings were filled with worry and dread.

Good for you man, I did the same about a month ago. Amazing how hard I found getting rid of the golden handcuffs.
