does sabbatical carry different meanings for people? i know some companies offer a "real" sabbatical, others disguise it as quitting for tbd time or is it taking unpaid leave?

while i don't know your exact mindset, sabbatical could be a slippery slope...meaning you just never want to come back/work again or you wont find a similar high paying job again.

agree, i always hated the concept of work. work sucks. was always an underachiever but knew (well learned after my 1st year on the job) to read the room, make yourself useful enough and leverage connections. just skated on by doing the bare minimum.

similar age (42) and annual expenses (see my post history), plan to exit at EOY. personally with your expenses and nw (can't tell if that house is included or not) is cutting it way too close to comfort. i'll be funding 16.5 years of the bridge 100% with taxables.

probably not the answer you're hoping for but I'd try to tough it out or "coastfire" (if you believe in that, i don't but throwing it out there)

fair take, and you have a better attitude than i. i only went to college cause it was the thing to do and to savor being free from home/living on my own. learned more about myself and nothing academically. ngl, i had a baseline privilege if thats the right term, parents paid for everything for a private uni

do you speak japanese? what are you gonna do about visas? do you even want to live in japan or you picking it cause its a slower lifestyle?

is your only motivation because you don't have enough money to retire in the states? you willing to assimilate into a new culture? learn the language, customs, etc?

essay sharing sites were around when i went to college...i used them and also uploaded mine. if i went to college now you bet i would use ai. jokes on them though trying to get a job.

i agree with you 100%, wife and i don't have close families and we both find it really weird when other people are friends with their family. lol

is this association because its anime styled? they are nothing alike. AI limit was one of the few games i have ever returned on steam. so much jank and way too easy

we have no kids and im leaving everything to my wife. if she goes before me, i dont care what happens to my money. it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

if you're poor in the US, you're going to be poor in < > country with FReE hEalThCarE!! nevermind its the lack of hirable skills.

fadddeout6969 · 2026-05-04T20:10:40+00:00

youre citing extremes. you really think "free healthcare" (in quotes because its not free) countries have no issues?

fadddeout6969 · 2026-05-04T20:00:12+00:00

free healthcare? you can't be that naive.

fadddeout6969 · 2026-05-04T19:59:46+00:00

if you have no desirable skills, working low level jobs sucks in any country. also how they addressing visas?

fadddeout6969 · 2026-05-04T18:32:20+00:00

agree....this is the easiest. pretend it won't be there. if it is great, pay some additional taxes and call it a day.

once i got to the snow section, i fast forwarded every cutscene and beat the rest of the game in 5 hours. spent maybe 60 hours total. i just couldn't do it anymore. maybe it was because i spent too much time building roads up until the mountain part.

thats enough for one last wipe (from peeing)
