You should take that year off and travel.

Yeah but then I’d be at zero and it really does provide me much peace of mind that I’m not. Even more than I expected.

Knowing you can always walk away from a job, project, or client is quite intoxicating.

Do what makes you happy, but:

> Yeah but then I’d be at zero

You'd not be at zero. Everyone's different but when I look back on my life, I treasure the travel I did and its been a regular influence on my perspective of the world ever since. I would love to have a year of FU money but... I don't think I would part with my travel history for it.
