Option #3
Sell, buy a used camper, travel the US working remote, or working odd jobs from town to town. Lots of cheap campgrounds, free camping, and BLM land.
Come back in a few years and still have your nest egg from selling the house and then decide.
This is what I dream of doing. But having a wife and 2 kids (read as a wife that doesn’t wanna do that) it’s not happening.
