Hi all,
I am a relatively new mustachian, Age 30
Where we are at. combined income of $120K,
House Loan - $300K
No other debts.
My wifes savings : $20K
My savings: $10K.
Next January I get a payout from work (long service leave of $10K) (or I can take 9 weeks of pay at full time rates, or half pay for double the time so effectively 20 weeks off).
I hate my job and really need to get out and away for a long time or completely change fields/start a business etc. But obviously this has not materialised yet. But we are trying to start a family, no success yet.
My question to you guys, what would you do?
This could be a great opportunity for me to have a long time off, travel and do something interesting, learn a new skill or just enjoy life and still have a job to come back after. My wife is encouraging me to travel and not waste it.
Take the money and run and use the cash to start my business and change jobs.
Take the money and use it to pay some mortgage off/invest in stock or possible future rental property.
What would you do if you had this opportunity?
