I did this after getting fired from a job. I just started taking trips. Road trips. Flights. Just hanging at the beach. It was so much fun. I got a tan, got in shape, got some perspective. Getting fired isn't the worst thing like so many people think. It doesn't blacklist you or ruin your life. You just get another job and get on with it. Once you realize this *really* understand this - you stop getting stressed at work. And that's the secret.

I count my blessings and show gratitude when stressed or sad.

I imagine moving to my cabin and living off the land. Then I go two minutes with wifi and I'm like maybe later...

Pwc, how did you pay for it?

Emergency funds. Everyone should have 6-9 months living expenses saved. Using some funds for a bit of fun is permitted. Just don't do it at the Ritz Carlton and you'll be okay. 😁 Anyway, it was worth it to me to have that time and of course I got another job so everything turned out fine. I've already forgotten about that company and job but I still think about the fun I had in my transition period.
