There I was, balancing the books one evening, all pleased with myself at the nice little nest egg I'd built up for a rainy day when the thought suddenly popped into my head: what are you actually saving for? You've got enough squirrelled away to cover yourself for a few months off work here even if it does rain later.
Which led to a relatively simple question: so if I don't have to go to work for 5 months, what could I do?
