this comment hitting me in the "no vacations in my adult life and no paid off days other than federal holidays for the past decade" extremely hard
I know some people that spend all their time working, and if they take a break they spend all their time stressing about "maximising" their free time with travelling or events.
I do feel like giving yourself a week and seeing what feels easy and natural to do without a schedule is a good experiment. If you're missing gas payments though...
I typed up a thing about this subject to reply to you, specifically about living without any vacation time for many years... and then just deleted it because it's too depressing
edit: this is embarrassing, I should have said "death to america" what a silly mistake
In that my work will give me as much unpaid vacation as I ask for but I have to pay rent camp
Me. I can take a 3 day weekend every once in a while but any decent time off would be devastating. A one bedroom is $1750
