Have you ever lived aboard for a extended period of time? I am thinking of leaving the work force for a bit and destress, live somewhere in Asia where cost of living is very affordable.

The thought has occurred to me more than a few times! But never actually went through with it. Would be quite the adventure and a great time to really destress. Think almost everyone needs that after this year. Wish I did know somebody and could offer some better insight.

Left my home country 17 years ago and it was the best decision ever.

OP I have literally always dreamed about doing this but I just don't think I am brave enough to go somewhere outside of the states where I do not know a soul. I think if I had a partner that was going with me I woudl be more inclined to do it but not alone.

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.

3) other approach?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
