Why is it crazy? You can never start retirement saving (and I'm talking outside of a 401K) too early. If you've worked at a top-tier tech company for > 5 years and been even slightly careful with your money you're going to have that much saved up without even meaning to.

It's not crazy to have 2 years worth of savings. It's crazy to think you need that to be in a position to quit your job.
