I actually agree with you. I think taking long breaks in between jobs/clients is the better path for most people.

I just got an amazingly sweet deal:

- I was remote so I lived out of my backpack in places around the world for many years (pre-COVID)

- I got my work done fast in less than 20h/week most weeks so I had plenty of time to e.g. learn another language to a conversational level

- I was able to save $15k - $20k/month

- I took 1 or 2 months of unpaid leave every year to pursue hobbies

Had I not been able to do that, I would definitely have quit earlier and taken a long break.
