Please don't misunderstand anything that I am about to write as I am not familiar with your case in any way. I'm not trying to say that your doing this.
"A FACT that gets lost in all the rhetoric is I took a 60% CUT in pay. What person in their right mind would do that UNLESS they had to."
I know lots of people that would gladly take a 60% cut in pay if it meant they didn't have to work anymore. You may think that no one in there right mind would do that, but I bet most people on this board know people that would do that.
Again, I am in no way saying that is what you are doing. I'm just saying that there are plenty of people that would be willing to do it.
