Most of what you say is correct I'd just add this:

Thanks guys, very good food for thought.

I'm in the fortunate position of having about 5-6 months buffer on
morgage too. But i'm pretty much burnt out in IT at the moment & need a
break for a few months.

So I either take an unpaid sabbatical & go travelling, or look for
something part time that'll give me some pin money to play with.

Just exploring a few options.
