It’s a very personal decision. I know social media allows you to get validated by random people. But for practical purposes, they need to spent a solid amount of time in financial planning. And/or talk to a personal financial advisor.

People take break with far less than that. But it also adds considerable strain to your spouse. So it needs to be a conversation with the spouse and not reddit. Kids are not going to stay forever in elementary schools and their expenses will go up. I don’t know what is this person’s plan for college. “400 K” equity - eh, ok…that doesn’t mean much.

Point being, instead on relying on social media vibe check, they should put some effort into long term financial planning and hire an advisor if needed. I think claiming that they can get a new job in 6 months is very optimistic

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
