I've got $150k in the bank. 500k Marriott points and 300k miles. Now that my lease has ended, I'm seriously considering quitting and just taking vacation like the irresponsible millennial I am.

Not trying to be dad like, but I hope by 150k in the bank you mean invested in the market not sitting in a <1% interest rate. If it's truly sitting in a savings/checking account to open a fidelity or Scottrade account asap. You'll thank me later

You should do it OP. But come on people, if you want to travel the world, do it. You dont need 150k to do so. Travel the world in a year should only cost around $30k. Even if you stay at hotel for the whole year its only ~50k for nice hotels. I will do it within the next 5 years

@D8 don't forget that's before tax. Saving $50k a year after taxes would mean you make atleast $60k annually and didn't spend a dollar on a anything else. Factor in some living expenses and this is starting to sound sketchy/ dad helped him out.
