I wish I had "do my own thing for a while" money. Sounds like you found a nice place to still do something useful but catch your breath. I'm hoping I can find something similar.

Seriously. And even if you do have savings, for every N years you dig into that savings, you are sacrificing XN years of retirement savings that you are very likely to need later. Where X is always greater than one, and significantly greater depending on your age when you take that nice sabbatical.
