Did we ever determine how much money a person needs to have in the bank before they can just up and walk out one day? Can you tell I am less than 3 weeks away from my much-needed vacation?
At least $5M, and that is probably $5M short of the real number.

If I had $10M right now, I'd be down the hall peeing on someone's desk faster than you could say "K! Is this it?"

I haven't slept in about five months. I'm starting to see blurs in my plane of vision and my eyelids twitch.

I'm usually hyperbolic, but I'm serious. I'm past the point of sleep deprivation and into some pseudohallucinatory state.

It ain't bad. I don't have the energy to care as much... The only problem is I can barely pick up the phone to phone it in anymore. I may ride this thing further than I've done before (in college I slept for 3-4 hrs a night for an entire summer and get pretty strange and paranoid after a while). I wonder when you finally hit the wall. You probably get mono or something before that, right? I don't think I can get there. Massive B12, Red Bull, cigar* and coffee dosings are keeping me rolling. And how gay is that? What the hell am I doing? I'm pretty sure I have some intestinal parasite on top of it....

*Sooo much nicotine.

Lending Question

Switching jobs while applying for a mortgage? Good or bad?

You misunderstand. I'm not asking about how much I need in order to quit working forever. I'm asking how much I need in order to take a 6-12 month hiatus to figure out what else I could be doing with my life. And no, I wouldn't just walk out (much as I might like to) - I'd give proper notice, blah, blah, blah.

Assuming your not drinking Cristal every night, a couple hundred thousand should work.

You misunderstand. I am looking for a break from responsibility (financial and otherwise) not an additional person to take care of and/or work the rest of my life to support. That sounds like a short-sighted way to get 3 months off to me...

Unless the sperm belonged to the right person - say Tom Cruise or something. Then you could take the rest of your life off, live off the kid's support and go to Scientology meetings where they would tell you what to do. See? No responsibility there.

You misunderstand. It was a joke. From someone who recently had such time "off."
