I'm 27, I have no house, an old car, and my entire life savings are $23,000. Would it be a stupid idea to go on a 6 month backpacking trip across south america (or SE asian) and blow all of that? I have experience travelling.Or should I be responsible and buy a house and marry my GF?
>>2892775>Would it be a stupid idea to go on a 6 month backpacking trip across south america (or SE asian) and blow all of that?Yes, because that amount can easily last you 3-4 years
>>2892775>should I be responsibleno. you are only young once and 23k will not be hard for you to save again
I'm in a similar boat26, live with parents, college degree but make barely above minimum wage, $60K in savings. I want to do some long term travel in SEA while I'm young, but I'm afraid of the job market when I get back.
>>2892806>make barely above minimum wage Are you retarded or otherwise disabled? Wtf is wrong with uou
>>2892806you're a pussy bitch. too flaccid to go anywhere. you can be a bottom and have guys fuck you in the ass at your parents house. no need to travel.
>>2892810I've been looking for higher paying jobs but I keep getting rejected
>>2892813Why didn't you answer the question
>>2892813you dont need to make more. the advantage of making near min wage is you can quit your job at anytime and get it back. but you're not even taking advantage of it that way
>>2892806>afraid of the job market when I get back.you're at minimum wage now so what's the worst that could happen? you start back again at minimum wage? just go and see the world. you cannot delay. the bed bug problem is only going to get worse.
>>2892806If your parents are kosher just give 30k to your dad and tell him you're too retarded to manage it right now. Or pay a financial adviser to manage it for you if you don't trust your father.Then fuck off with the rest of it for a while.
>>2892823>>2892824I make about $17 an hour now. Only perk of my job is I get to wfh doing easy office work, which has made life comfortable but stagnated for me (no it's not feasible to do digital nomad) Worst case scenario is I go from having an income, to making no income and being forced to work retail or something.
>>2892801OP here, I have an engineering degree and barely a year into working. I make about $90k a year and I'm worried if I take a year off I wont be able to get a job that pays that much until a few years after coming back.
>>2892830dont be a bitch. treat it like its disposable and replaceable>>2892833golden handcuffs. you make some money (not even 6 figs) but it handicaps you and tethers you to being a wagecuck
>>2892833They will know you are lazy of course they wont hire you
>>2892833yeah you have to choose between career or travel. the other guy is in a much better, even ideal, situation with his minimum wage job. you are destined to be a wagecuck until you are 50 or 60 years old and then you can do some traveling
When you inevitably have to go back to work, if they ask about any gaps in your resume, just tell them you took some time off to care for a sick/elderly relative.Do NOT tell them "durrr actually I've been working this whole time but I can't disclose where I worked or what I did due to an NDA." It's a very overused lie that got memed to hell and back by TikTok.
>>2892775It's not a stupid idea to go see the world, but it is stupid as shit to spend everything you have to do so. >>2892787No it won't last four years, unless you decide to quit going places and rot in some Third World hovel for weeks/months at a time. Some anons are happy living such a NEET life, but it gets extremely dull to trudge the same streets for the fiftieth time.>>2892833You've already been cucked by your career. Your spending habits have adjusted to fit a steady income, so you will feel very insecure and unable to enjoy yourself while traveling with no income for the foreseeable future. Best to keep working and enjoy whatever scraps of freedom your master grants you.
>>2892915>if you dont consooooooooom and doooooooooooo random gay things then you're rotting goy
