I did that for a while. Word of caution: there's a point where you run out of savings and you hit bottom hard. Not wanting to work is one thing, but not wanting to work when you're without savings is much harder. Existential dread plus financial dread just plain sucks.

But it sounds like you have a lot in savings so maybe it won't be an issue?

OTOH, this is the only thing that consistently breaks me from stagnation.

Yeah, I'm not saying don't do it. Just, it's good know what you're getting yourself into before you start. There is a tipping point.
