Took 9 months off after I quit my first job. I was working on a startup, pitched it around town, and it failed pretty miserably. Even so, it was probably the happiest time of my life.

The immense focus, waking up and working on my thing. No pointless meetings, standups, or sucking up to people. I feel that I got a taste of what people that are financially independent always rave about. I started frequenting a local coffee shop, got to meet a ton of people from all walks of life.

Totally worth it.
