My question to anyone able to answer this: how can you afford to take a sabbatical period??? I can’t even afford to take a weeks vacation. It would wreck me financially not receiving pay for a whole week. Let alone a year??? What’s going on in this thread?

There are some platforms like World Packers where you receive free food and a bed for helping out in places. But I guess that still doesn’t cover travel, insurance, debt, and any other long term payments you might have to make

step 1 : have a career

step 2 : don’t spend that much money, building up savings

step 3 : time is money, therefore, money is time.

step 4 : be very, very frugal during your time with no work. I ate a lot of protein powder, eggs and pasta

What is a career in your definition?

In this context, it’s an employment specialization that allows you to earn a greater than average income. I was amazed that as a software tester I used to get paid more than a nurse, an arguably more stressful and more important employment path.

I’m on the left. It’s a hard thing that happens in life that I am pointing out, not agreeing with.

I’ve been saving 30-40% of my salary each month for years, it helps not going outside because you don’t like people and watching movies and playing video games. And eating ramen
