I quit my job early this year with no plan on what to do next. I had reached a savings milestone, and so had enough to feel secure with no plan. In that time I travelled with my wife, found and nurtured a passion for guitar, and in retrospect it's been one of my favourite and most satisfying years in memory. I say in retrospect because I find it incredibly hard to recognize "happy times" in the moment. The hard parts of life always seem more apparent day to day. Also, it took me about a month to start feeling anything other than emptiness after I quit. Having savings was SUPER helpful. It's taken a lot longer to find a job than I thought it would. I have a new one lined up, but at the moment I'm a little worried it's too soon.
