So I also take it that not doing it now must feel like you lost part of yourself as well besides the financial risk. Double whammy.

IT right now is highly marketable line of work. Given the need for networking and teleconferencing right now you are in demand. And 14 years experience you probably have a competitive advantage in the job market. What do you think your odds of finding a new job are from 0% to 100% right now? I'd bet pretty high. What do you think?
