It's pays off to be rich. Not having to work is a luxury. I love money too much to simply take a year off, even if I could afford it. I would think about the opportunity cost the entire time. Maybe I just haven't had a proper burn out yet.
- haswell 4y agoAs someone who once couldn’t imagine burning the cash, I’m a month into a 6-12 month sabbatical after finally burning out pretty hard. My advice to my former self would be to take extended time before it became a borderline personal crisis. The funny thing about that opportunity cost - I’m now spending time just building the energy to use this time away for things I find personally interesting. Had I taken the time sooner, it probably could have been shorter, and I’d probably enjoy the first bit of it more.

- kingnothing 4y agoI originally planned on a 3-6 month sabbatical and I'm now 8 months in and starting to look for work. It's been a phenomenal refresher and I highly recommend it to everyone who is able to do so. I plan on taking another one in 5-10 years if I'm not retired by then.
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoA few years ago I wanted to take 6-12 months off, just to unwind and do my own projects for a bit. But then my girlfriend moved in, cost of living went up, and I couldn't afford to dip that deeply into my reserves anymore. But I got another job too where the need to take extended time off wasn't as much of a thing, I got to do more of what I wanted to do without the BS of the company I worked at before.
