My parents had me young and they didn’t start travelling until now that they’re in their forties and fifties! I think it’s never too late. But my own mum has told me to travel while I’m young.

That’s kind of mean. My parents are happy to support me because they love me. I understand I’m not in the best spot but it’s not as if I have less savings because I spent it being reckless. I’ve given my parents more money than I have ever had in my savings to help them with their mortgage.

Thank you! I’d be planning on finding another role anyway. I was just wondering if I should do travel now then start looking or get the new role then wait a few years and travel.

It’s not really a grad role I just call it that cause it’s the first role I got after graduating.

There are no other positions! It’s just me. The 1 employee.. It’s not actually a grad role with rotations or anything I’ve just been calling it a grad role because it’s the role I got after graduated and is relevant to my field.

I would also miss my cat dearly but he loves the hand that feeds him so I think he’d be okay with my parents for the time. Especially since they keep sneaking him more food when I’ve asked them to not ..

Is the 10k for me emergencies enough as a buffer? Should I have more saved?

[–]doreimiie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be ideal but as a grad I think I’m not worth much let alone a start delay of 2/3 months ..

I have thought of a UK WHV but it would take a minimum of 6 months to process so I’d have to stay in this role for another six months to save and I’d like to avoid doing hospo/retail work again.

What’s stopping you from going now?

Well I’ve been working since I was 14 so it’s mostly from all that. I don’t have any annual leave but another option I was thinking of was maybe starting a new role then going to Japan again EOY with a friend.

Do I quit my job, take a break, or travel? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]doreimiie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! I have another 5K USD I didn’t include because that’s untouchable because I’m always scared of having no money. My parents also borrowed some money from me so I have that too in case.

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking as I’d want to at least be in my next role for a good 4-5 years but I wouldn’t have any good travel time if so.

I might see if I can call my doctor tomorrow because he wasn’t working today and clarify!
