This is what I'm thinking, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but I've met people. like you before on the road.
People with multi-million dollar trust funds, or something similar, who just said "fuck-it" because they didn't want to deal with the politics, etc. that went along with it. In fact, I traveled with one such person for a while. They do exist.
If you've got stuff to sell to start you off and get you some gear, that's great, but don't get too reliant on money. Also, if you have too good of gear you have to be careful too, because there are always assholes out there who think that anyone with better stuff than them has to "pay a tax" (for lack of a better term). Every one of us has experienced this at least once
Its up to you how you want to start this new chapter in your life, but realize, not everything in this world can be bought with money. Sometimes you pay with your integrity, you can barter, etc.
