Probably not the best time to do this, what with inflation bullshit.

If anything, it's probably best to make as much money as possible right now, and spend it on necessary purchases ASAP, before it gets more expensive as your dollars become worth less and less.

I actually convinced several people to stop paying taxes with this logic. $100 today isn't worth what it was 4 months ago, not even close. So w/e savings you have, even if it's a good amount that should allow you to live comfortably without income for 2 years, that may change rapidly.

Would've been best to do this in the middle of covid.... where you could collect obscene amounts of money for no work. But look at us suckers, who worked through the deadly pandemic- some of us made less money working than the people who stayed home and collected unemployment for 2 fucking years.

I hope it works out for you, I just think you should consider this aspect of the decision. You already pulled the trigger, so it's done, hopefully you thought about that.

Years ago I got laid off from a job. I thought that I would take a few months, draw unemployment, catch up on things around the house, and enjoy the time off. Nope! As soon as people heard that I wasn't working I started getting call after call, people wanting me to come work for them! I worked out a deal with one of them to start work like 2 months later! Hahaha.

From the 40's through the 60's half of Tennessee moved to Michigan for work! Whole lot of people have family in both states.

Sounds like an outstanding plan. Nothing like fish right out of the water and time away from "modern civilization"

I really hope you enjoy your time.

Meh, I don’t think it was meant like that, per a posting today. Said out of present frustrations perhaps.

I’ve come to the conclusion that life is just a series of collisions. Sure, you can chart your way across life and you should hopefully, and you may just make it to that planned destination after all is said and done. One big shit stained asteroid out of nowhere, be it a stranger, place, disease, pharmaceutical, nigger, spic , jew, politician, bullet, flood, fire and other Acts of God, rabid animal, loose rock, misstep, lover, child, brother sister, parent, cop, lawyer, judge, banker, loan officer, financial advisor, teacher, professor, mentor, priest, counselor, etc., etc., etc. Any one of those things can fuk your shit right up in unimaginable ways. The inverse is that any one of those things can boost you further than you ever imagined. Deserved or undeserved. Some get hit with the shit stained asteroid field one after another after another. Some get hit with golden asteroid fields that propel them towards nothing but good. Sometimes, if not most times it really is just luck, one way or the other.

We’ve all seen people who did everything possible right and get fed shit sandwiches over and over. We’ve all seen shit bag dumb ass people come out on top for no good damn reason at all. Everything in between as well. Fortunately and unfortunately, what collisions happen along the way will determine as much of an outcome to ones life as any planning or intellect.

When asked what the song American Pie meant Don McClean said it meant he’d never have to work again. Who’s to say an asteroid of a nigger won’t ever come up behind him and put a cap in the back of his head. Anything can happen at any time anywhere. Yes, fables are good to learn by and for some jewish reason are sadly and regretfully not taught anymore because they can enhance ones trajectory, but many don’t always tell in the end it’s all really just a crap shoot when it comes down to it and know, win, lose or draw you’re gonna be play’n in a field of unknowable collisions.

I’m not vilifying him. And it was kind of a tongue-in-cheek remark. But to think that I could takeoff work for a few months is an insane notion. Just kind of jealous
