Most of us will never have the resources to actually do it so when someone does I'm truly happy for them. This guy really is living the dream.

I've done it via funemployment and it gets boring after a while... I needed to recover from a decade of grinding and get finally get some much needed medical procedures done (in the US no less), and the biggest hurdle was my inability to actually 'unplug,' it took nearly a year. I had mild to severe anxiety for no explicable reason other than not being used to being 'calm,' and I would be on edge thinking the worst was was about to occur and I started to just look for fires to put out.
It was incredibly unsettling but therapeutic in a way; luckily I'm better now, and I feel like I'm capable of getting back to things that require more effort than what I've been doing as of late. I got back into to school in that time and started to venture outside of Fintech, which is the only domain of tech that I know.
Mehhhh. Unless you get married before you have a job (and women usually are careful to prevent that) or are very loose with your money I don't think this is really true in our industry.
