I did that for nearly a year in my mid 20's after getting off a 5 year job that managed to save me a whopping $3k... So I squatted on my cheap ass house with a roomie and just got drunk, played games, and got really into reddit.
Was it worth it then? Yeah, was it worth it now? Eh. Passive income would've been nice but eh. I did enjoy my time. And I found I could 100% be one of those people that never worked a day in their life and would have no issue.
I wish i could do this for a month each year.
We're looking at you Europe!
Also gotta find those jobs with nice PTO hours. Or try to start changing them yourself.
I just recently changed jobs to the local "good job" company. Two weeks of vacation until 5 years seniority. Kill me.
At least this job has unpaid leave but i doubt that it's a realistic avenue.
