The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

    I did this poorly, i had almost 20g saved, and i went on trips, explored, and adventured, then the final week of money, went and handed out 3 resumes and got hired on the spot with the 3rd.

      Sounds like you did it perfectly, if you can save 20grand you can do it again but you’ll never have those trips at that age again.

        Its alot tougher to save it up now, i changed my mind about wgere i wanted to work. Im a journeyman electrician, and travel work i made stacks, no fixed address, living in work camps and just slaving. But after the break i thought thats just killing me, i have no friends outside of work and my whole life was being an electrician. Now i work 8h in a shop in a city of my choosing and have 16h a day for me.

          Hey sounds like you spent your savings to figure out how to treat yourself nicely.

          I’d miss the money too but sounds like you’re doing much better off now :)
