Abandoning everything?

Everyone probably wondered what it would be like to abandon everything and start a new life. But has anyone actually started planning it seriously, or even done it? Or, do you know of anyone who has done it and what were the consequences? Why wouldn't you do it, if you have the money and nothing holds you in your current life?

Ultimately, if I wanted to do it then it would a negative impact on the lives of others. If you have a problem with where you are at that is largely on you. You can make plenty of positive changes without necessarily abandoning everything. Things as simple as changing jobs or moving can have a massive impact.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.
