[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely encourage him to do this. He will never get this time back. He knows he is burned out and knows what to do about it, and he has the time, the money, and the lack of other responsibilities to be able to do it. Would that we could all be so lucky!

I would, however, suggest that he budget to spend only a portion of his $25k, maybe $25k, which may mean that he isn’t able to travel for a full year. Of course this will not be luxury travel. I’m sure he expects that.

The remainder of his savings he can live off of while he looks for a job once he gets back. [/quote]

Bad idea.  And, what about things like health insurance?[/quote]

He is probably healthy . . . You people are so dumb and boring. I did this after college. It was AMAZING. I'm a partner at a law firm today many years later and doing quite well. That year changed my life and gave me perspective for the rest of my life. OP, encourage your son to live his life. He seems like an incredible person and will absolutely find his footing.[/quote]

This - people on here are insane. Now is a great time for him to travel, he has some savings and no responsibilities.  I never took the time to travel after college and regret it. Once you start working - it is really hard to get off that wheel and then having a family meant a year traveling was definitely off the cards. I am hoping to travel when my kids leave for college.....[/quote]

No responsibilities? He is responsible for paying his own way since his parents aren't wealthy. [/quote]

Okay let me fix that for you, he has no responsibilities other than paying his own way - feel better?[/quote]
