Quitting My Job in a Bear Market October 13
For the past year or so I’ve been planning on quitting my job and traveling for a number of months. In the beginning of September I gave my four weeks notice and my last day was at the end of September.
It’s been a whirlwind of a month, but we have finally moved from Washington DC. We will be spending 4 months traveling the globe.
Despite the fact that we have a good amount of cash saved up to be able to travel and then to live on for several months when we return, with the market swings as of late I’ve been feeling pretty apprehensive about not having a steady paycheck.
I’m worried that when we return to the states it will take far longer than I planned to find a job.
But I know that for now I’ll be happier traveling than I would working and things will work themselves out.
Nonetheless, it’s still scary to be voluntarily quitting my job in a bear market.
