I took VSP last year. It was a good decision. If you are given an opportunity, do your math and it may work well for you as well. I know this is not for everyone as people are in different states of career or personal growth, but if you are thinking about it, I'd encourage you to take it.
My stress levels went down 90% and I was able to cut my expenses to the point that I am comfortable. I also found another job that does not pay as well but it covers my decreased expenses. Granted, I am close to retirement and the math just worked out.
Good luck!!!!!
