In my case I realized I was unhappy in my job and noticed I had enough money saved up already to live on for at least a year. (You all live below your means, right? If you don't, you should.) Once I figured out something I really really wanted to do, I left my job.
Now I've done it (it wasn't a money-making thing) and I'm left wondering what to do next. I'm hoping it will all work out. With the leftover money I can still live for a year spending time volunteering, meeting people and hopefully developing the skills and connections to do whatever is next.
