[real-dino]

I just did this last year. I just got my boat, which is also my home, and in terms of outgoing, it's very little. We are talking £1000 a year for license and insurance and £50 a month heating in the winter.

The problem I have is that companies will generally look for any excuse not to hire people. A year gap is a red flag, and you 'should' be perpetually 'grafting for money', and my skills (even though React, Redux and HTML haven't changed at all in the last year) are considered out of date.

Eventually I will find a job, and I'm not trying to hard. I worked on a sideproject during my time off to keep my skills active, and I'm not in a rush to back to work.

But in terms of what I got out of it, I went to a bunch of music festivals, started going to pubs and clubs a lot more, and started enjoying life a lot more.
