These two have obviously never done that. You have tons of money once you sell your house. Just leave on good terms. No one regrets travel. And contrary to what they believe you can discover things about yourself along the way that have value. That’s the exact reason you go, to break, to rest, to relearn. Could not disagree with the advice the two of these gave and the way they shamed you. Just have some sense financially which it sounds like you already do and go for it. I’ve done it. I did tons of traveling, backing, and I learned a ton about myself.

Yep! He's all about having money and wealth long-term aka no get rich quick scheme. Meaning your gonna be old when u experience financial freedom most of the time.

[@autistic-lutheran-carnivore]

Dave said that they should take their vacation time because they may be burnt out. He was just objecting to quitting their jobs to "find themselves".

[@elianah8803]

Agree. They will likely be inspired to do something that could change the trajectory of their lives. They’re financially secure now and not happy. They’re in a great position to take a break and have the skills to generate a great income when they’re ready to resume. Taking time off is OK. It’s not BS. This response is typically American. “When you travel you travel with a purpose.” No…it’s ok to wander the earth with no purpose at all other than to enjoy it. The Italians have a saying for this, Il dulce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing. Life is short. Live it in a way that makes you happy.

[@frankenbeans6930]

I did the exact thing. Took a year off and rested, traveled, spent wonderful time with my adult kids, dove into my hobbies. It was a great reset.

Rather than sell my home, I rented it out at a cheap rate to a friend. I just had to have complete faith that things would work out when I returned. That year off traveling the world was amazing and life changing for me. Indirectly, one of the things that happened from that trip was I decided to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour (without that trip it might not have happened).

You can always make more money, but you cant ever get time back. Life is short so enjoy it. If you want to travel, do it on a budget. Take some time off and enjoy your life. Then get back to work. We have to snap out of the matrix that programs us to only live to work until we’re 65 to THEN enjoy life. Once you’re old, you wont have the same energy to explore the world like you can when you’re young. Do what makes you happy in a financially responsible way. Traveling doesnt have to be expensive.

[@MisterConcise]

Nah. You could get a part time job and pick up some hobbies on the side to help with finding yourself.

This is a good idea. Best of both worlds. More time + income

There’s so many people telling you how to live your life and what you should do, you’re only here so short at the end and what if you don’t want another “career” or “job” the system tells you what’s good and what’s not, I’d take my own advice if I was that lady, I mean I don’t see taking 6 months off unpaid wrong I mean it’s just the belief that you need to always keep slaving away and making more money that’s how they control you because you’re gonna lose something, remember you was born with nothing and you die with nothing, so that 300-400k home you’re not gonna take it to the grave so might as well take a chance to build the life you want to, not what others say

[@MsRuthie]

I disagree, I think they should do it honestly. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe that’s because I want to do that - sounds amazing! 😂

[@smithrr6]

Once you pay your 300k off on your mortgage you can down grade your life by a huge huge amount. Your living expenses then won't require you to work those high paying but soul crushing jobs that you have. Work towards paying off your home and then you will be able to take on so much more risk in your life with greatly reduced consequences if something goes wrong.

But let me assure you, this will not be the case, as long as you keep the IMAGE of the good you desire FIRMLY PLANET IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. For if you do this, you will continue to move in the ONLY DIRECTION in which you can move, in order to get to where you want to go. 🙏🏽

[@mikebrownbassist802]

What are Ken’s qualifications? He has been at Ramsey solutions for YEARS. There are videos of him following Dave around with a microphone, long before he was a host.Has he ever done one-on-one career consulting or research in the field? He seems more like a fake guru to me.

[@SC68170]

Yeah, he's not the best

[@TH-up2rg]

It's been a while since I read Proximity Principle (Ken's book) but if I remember correctly he decided on a big midlife career change from some unrelated field into hosting radio/podcasts and motivational speaking (before he was with Ramsey). So I think his main qualification for career counseling is that he's lived through a career change himself? Like how Dave lost everything and got out of debt is what qualifies him most to speak on the subject. Then on top of that they've both studied those areas in some formal way during their journey

[@mikebrownbassist802]

@@TH-up2rg Thanks for the response. His linkedIn page shows he graduated college in like 1994 and then his first job shows Ramsey Solutions in 2014. It is kind of strange that he doesn’t list 20 years of work history.

1:12 I disagree, because there are a lot of KZbin channels who have taken a six month sabbatical. There’s one girl I follow who took a six-month sabbatical from corporate during 2022 (ironically, she read baby steps and saved up an emergency fund of 6 mos which is how I found out about the book) & only returned to work part time after that. She was able to finance her life as a single mother by house hacking and renting out two bedrooms in her home to her mother and her sister so she didn’t have to pay any of the mortgage OOP and she had a little bit of money left over in profit that she lived on as well as a few hundred a week profit from her micro-KZbin channel (she lives in North Carolina where cost of living is cheap). She was able to grow her KZbin channel during this time & spend more time with her son since she had 0 debt & took this sabbatical. 2020 made people realize that they didn’t want to leave this earth having not done certain things; if they were faced with the possibility of death and had the opportunity to do life all over again, they wouldn’t have made those same choices. Essentially, people are waking up and realizing that they’re living a life that they will grow to regret. These people who wrote in could travel to countries like Bali, India, Guatemala, and plenty of other undeveloped countries where the USD is still worth something and do volunteer/missionary work in exchange for homestays (which I’m about to do w my 2 young children), and they wouldn’t have to spend any of their personal funds on anything but airplane travel and food🤷🏾‍♀️ Many Americans moved to countries like Japan and now teach English without having to pay for a degree only a TEFL certification and they usually accommodate travel, medical care, and housing. Nobody has any moral or legal obligation to stay in this country and not explore the world unless they are a felon. People are allowed to exercise their American citizenship and discover other countries and it’s shameful you would try to talk them out of it. That’s my biggest problem w growing up in the south, this mindset made me so scared to go anywhere bc everybody repeated this rhetoric and made it seem like I was obligated to stay in Knoxville, TN. The biggest reason I’ll NEVER move back.

@@thekiaradanielle If they were millionaires they would be talking about retiring so they have to be still on the way. An you don't have to wait until 65 to enjoy life.

But capitalism is not about happyness it's about stacking while you are still able too. This is America an that's the American way. Some countries take months off work a year an some come home for family lunch in the middle of a work/school day. I wouldn't say they are happy because of it
