I wouldn’t work towards anything.
I’d shitpost online, read books, go to the coffeeshop, watch movies, go on walks, etc.
Took 3 years off in my 20s to do exactly that and it was incredible. Best years of my life. Would drop everything and do it again in heartbeat if I could swing it financially.
- gooob 2y agoyou think it was worth it even though you could have been saving money during that time?
- paulcole 2y agoLol, yes. I guess it depends on what you think the point of money is. If you think it’s like getting a high score in Donkey Kong, then you’ll be sad you didn’t max out your gains for 3 extra years. But if you think of money as something you need enough of and that’s it, then you’ll gladly take the 3 extra years of complete freedom. I only need as much money as I need — not more. Obviously there’s some risk/uncertainty there and I’m not against saving for the future so I do my best to be prepared. But I don’t see saving money as something that’s worth my time if it can be reasonably avoided.
