I’ve been seriously considering the possibility of taking some time off in a few years. I first started thinking about it when I watched this Stefan Sagmeister TED talk. His idea is that we dedicate the first 25 years or so to learning, the next 40 to working, and the last 15 or so to retirement — why not take 5 years off retirement and intersperse them in the work years?
As the interview notes, it’s all a matter of saving, budgeting, and planning. Dare to dream…
