I’m kinda burnt out on leetcode and I have enough money for like 5 years of expenses on a bar. Plus I think I would be good at it and I like to drink. The only downside I can think of is if I take a few years away from tech, I might not be able to get hired if I get bored with the bar, since I’d be 40 years old with a weird gap on my resume.

Are there any Software Engineers who don’t want to open a bar :-) Such a cliche :-)
I want to buy a farm
Take a sabbatical and recharge.
Drinking at the bar you own might not be too wise.
Do it
Grass seems greener in the bars. Talk to a few bar owners first, not just the successful ones, but diverse set of them.
Should start a church instead. More money in that.
No. Right now you have a fantasy not a business, try working a bar, then try working a bar you live in. The novelty wears off fast. You have to wake up with the dray deliveries early and sleep after the drunks are out late. Software is much simpler, lower stress and better paid. Think fights, drugs, staff stealing from you, food inspectors, licensing issues, staff turnover
Refer me to Github before you leave pls. And go for it. Maybe get a bartender job and see if you like it first before you buy one.
And then you can call it "Puzzles". Why puzzles? Because that's the puzzle 😀

How about you give me your job and your money? I have good use of them.
