Thank you for posting this. It manages to capture how I’m feeling quite well. It has made me realize I need to make some adjustments to my work and life.
The problem is, what do you do once you spend up all your savings on a 1 year vacation? You have to go back, eventually, and it will happen again. Plus, the job market is really tough (isn't it always?) and there are a lot of people out of work and looking for jobs, it doesn't always make sense to voluntarily join that cohort once all your money has been spent.
