Since you've made a throwaway for this, I figured I'd ask more intimate details: How much money did you make off of that sale that you consider it good enough to take a few years off but not retire completely? $1 mil, $2 mil, more, less?

I ask since amount of money needed to live without work for a few years in silicon valley/bay area (assuming you're in it) is typically enough money to retire forever in a place like Thailand/Chiang Mai, and so would follow up and ask why won't you do that :)

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! :)
