Not OP, but I’ll tell you how my wife and I were able to take a year long sabbatical. I had some stock options for the company I worked for, which had gone public during my employment, and buying and selling it all provided enough to live very comfortably off of for about a year for the two of us.

The key part seems to be not having kids. For me, I feel like I need to keep pushing at least until they are launched off to college.
