Just to roughly frame it: your networth looks to be in the 7–8m range. If you were to liquidate everything and go fully conservative, say a 2–2.5% withdrawal rate, you’re looking at around 15k a month in spending. Push that up to 3%, and it’s closer to 20k a month. From a pure numbers perspective, fire is already very much on the table.

That said, since you mentioned you are running 2 biz (and assume you’re the owner), you don't actually need to make a drastic, all-or-nothing move. No need to jump in with both feet.

You could sell 1 business, free up some capital and mental space, and then decide how much time and energy you still want to put into the remaining one. Dial it up, dial it down.... entirely your call.

That's the nice thing about being in your position: you’re the boss, and you get to design the pace and shape of your own journey.
