Thanks Anders! Any guidance for my colleagues who are feeling the fear of pivoting to Coast FI or just taking a break, even if they have 20+ months of living expenses saved up? They're worried about giving up a high-paying tech job, even though they feel burned out.

That is tough Brian—I would ask them what it is they are worried about? It seems they have ample cash reserves, and since they've currently got high-paying jobs in tech I assume they've got some very marketable skills. So what's the fear all about? Worst-case is they end up right back where they are, doing exactly what they're doing right now. Best case is they unlock a new lifestyle they couldn't have imagined before.
