After working for almost 20 years, I believe you should be financially independent by now.

You should have enough wealth to live on without working. That doesn't mean you have to retire early. You can take on a passion project that may not pay very well. But isn't that the sole purpose of being financially free? 

Based on your interest, I would suggest you schedule a 6-12 months stay in Nepal. Anything shorter than 6 months is a small sample size. Try to avoid Dashain/Tihar if you want to get an actual feeling of a mundane life in Nepal.

At the end of your experiment, go through your journal and see how your thoughts have evolved over time. Most likely you will find your answer there.
