How do you deal with boomer parents being annoying about you travelling? I am unemployed but currently have over 6 figures of savings from waging and living at home for the past several years. I want to spend my summer this year abroad after I have completely failed to find a rotational job that would allow me to travel. I know they will gnash at the teeth if I decide to do this. I am late 20s and I know it will just lead to a giant argument.
>>2873219They're rightYou leave a giant gap in your resume with no valid explanation, no one will ever hire you again
>>2873227This is retarded, spend 50$ to get an LLC and say you worked for it for your gap year. Have a good mate be your reference. It is the easiest hurdle to get over. OP, take your money and do your adventure. Alternatively, put it in the market and be the weird old guy at the hostel reliving his youth once you retire
>>2873219Just do it and let them bitch about it. When you pull off the bandaid and just do things your parents either quickly realize that it wasn’t a big deal, or they become insane people and you realize you need to cut them ofd. Either way you improve your life greatly
>>2873227Resume gaps are not a big deal if you have an excuse (I was helping family/taking a break/going back to school). Most low to mid tier places don’t care all that much
>>2873227>YOU MUST CONSTANTLY WORKhaving slave mentality must really be a bitch. you can always find another job, you don't get to live another life.
>>2873219Find an apartment when you get back. Stop living with them if you don't want their feedback.
>>2873219Most people believe that somebody in their late 20s should be looking to wife up and settle down, not escape responsibility. Perhaps they judge you to be a retard who will squander his money with riotous living the moment he escapes the sphere of parental influence. You'll be one of those people saying "who cares about $20, who cares about $50, I have le heckin six figures!">>2873238That's only true if there is a scarcity of applicants. If HR roasties have candidates who are currently employed with references who can vouch for their good wagie status, they would absolutely hire such a guy over somebody who left his previous job under dubious circumstances eight months ago and has been discovering himself in Pattaya bars in the meantime.

>>2873227>no valid explanationTravelling is a good enough explanation if you can tell stories of where you been and what you did
>>2873227I already have a volunteer position with a supervisor who has my back covered to cover the gap. Fuck off
>>2873219>How do you deal with boomer parents being annoying about you travelling?>I am unemployed ... and living at home>I am late 20sthis can't be a serious threadgrow the fuck up, move out, live your fucking life
>>2873219Time to cut them out of your life.
>>2873227truth nuke
>>2873227Sounds to me like they want to keep you on the treadmill at all costs. they HATE when someone saves up money and it allows them to buy freedom for a while
>>2873227A few months off for travel isn't a "giant gap", just tell prospective employers you got laid off and the economy made it hard to find a new job. Or tell them that you had to leave the country until the heat died down from your last bank robbery, w/e.
>>2873299>Travelling is a good enough explanationthinking you need something better is peak boomer mindset>muh you must be working at all timesliterally every second zoomer has a gap travel year nowadaysa good chunk of applicants tell me they traveled and skipped a few semesters Uni while still officially being enroll (I'm EU based so Uni is almost free)and every goddamn time I have to tell HR that i don't care about that when they join my teambecause most >40yo HR persons think that this is a """problem"""just be mindful who's interviewing you
