About 2-3 times my yearly salary (which was pretty comfortable as it was). I have a lot of room to slash my expenses. I'm just looking for some breathing room to get back to what I love about computer science.. I don't mind working again in a few years! :)

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply I was rich. Just that I was able to work for code without needing to worry about money, or what that code has to do for cash, for the time being. I think having nothing to do all day is the ultimate wealth - the richness of leisure.
Wish I had known this years ago and just focused on building my own shit rather than making the already rich slightly richer

(created throwaway for this)
Thank fucking GOD I find myself in this position right now! Through some random luck and the sell of an old startup I am now able to take a few years off and just like think and sleep all day and have inappropriately long lunches.
At present I am writing crypto currency trading shit just for fun, having a blast, and most importantly, not having to worry about any meetings or struggling for progress on the HUGE PILE OF UNIMPORTANT BULLSHIT THAT WAS MY TODO LIST.
A forgot password form? Gimme a fuckin break. A build script??? HAHA.
I recommend it highly.
