I had a period of 6 months when I was unemployed burning through my savings.

It was one of the best times of my life. Like the author, I focused a lot of entrepreneurship, my mental and physical health, and traveled a lot.

But unlike the author, I came back to the workforce. I don’t know what’s the end game for the author, but I kind of feel torn here.

On one side, I’d say that it’s way easier to focus on building a business when you don’t have a job. On the other side, not having money to live on would stress me so much that I’m not sure I’d be able to do sport or engage in hobbies, let alone build a business.
