I don't think you deserved the downvote. Very few people in the world are in as good a position to do this as software engineers. A common problem that I see in myself is getting sucked into a lifestyle and then the golden handcuffs are forged by a story we tell ourselves about how much money we need. But go look up the median income in your area and then tell me you can't make that money part time from home if you're a decent programmer.
