I have $170k cash savings and a further $20k in investments
Taking a year or two off but am worried about finding a new job.
Worse comes to worse will resort self employed jobs like property agent or financial consultant |
If you are worried you cannot find a job in the future, why quit your job without coming out with a plan in the first place?
Worrying something yet to happen can let own self goes into depression.
After age 40, within the period of 11 years, I quit 4 jobs. However, I did not secure any job in advance prior I resigned.
Those jobs I accepted after age 40, I was still given good salary increment, even though I was already jobless.
I could be fortunate in my job hunting, but importantly must able to think positively and cannot be rigid in thinking. All roads lead to Rome.
