Any good outcomes from being out of work for a year?

Every now and then I am tempted to try that but worry getting a job afterward may be difficult (not to mention surviving due to lack of money)

Anecdotally if you can afford it, it's worth a shot even just a couple months. It makes you dull on some places, but sharpens you on others. You get to explore and try stuff. You get to reflect and realign yourself. And you can call it being "in a sabbatical", instead of "unemployed" lol.
