To be completely honest, in reading through this thread it sounds like you have a bit of a chip on your shoulder about the whole thing and are seeking opinions that will reinforce what you already have decided to do. If you know that’s what you want to do, then I would say forge ahead and do it regardless of the opinion of others. You only live once.l and it sounds like you have your mind made up.

Based on your posts and responses to others it sounds like your say that you already have lots of money, own a ton of stuff that is all nice, new, and paid off, and you don’t ‘need’ to do this. You just *want* to do this as a way of finding activities that you may not otherwise be able to fund. As long as you read close and understand the full implications, I guess it’s for you.
