It depends entirely on your life circumstances. It can feel like a vacation if your partner is still earning 6x+ the median national household income, you have ample savings and multiple years of runway for any immediate debts that can't become delinquent without significant consequences, and you have wealthy parents to fall back on on top of everything else.
