OMY Why?

[JoeWras]

I'm going to approach the question from an entirely different angle. I call it frugal fatigue. After years of doing without, retirement expenses completely covered now, if I work another year I can buy all kinds of toys I've done without for years. It's only an idea I'm playing with.

Good point. I have some of that going on.

If I should choose this option, it will only be done by consulting or contracting, and even then intermittently, a year at most. My entire PF could vanish today and I would still quit my current employer as planned 3/15.

It's an idea I am executing now. I believe I am FI, and splurging a bit while doing OMY. Besides "travel" I answered earlier, being able to splurge would be another reason.
