$1200/day retreat to cure burnout
« on: April 07, 2022, 12:13:11 PM »
This article features a luxury wellness resort's burnout-alleviating program: $6300 for 5 days. In fairness to the author, she didn't have to pay for it. But think she misses a point: if you can afford to drop $10K/week on burnout care, you can probably afford to take a break from your burnout-inducing job.

Yep. When I burned out, I was a postdoc making $40k per year. I could just about manage a yoga studio membership.

10k is about 3 months of spending for my family of 4.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
