I'm contemplating quitting my job, I've only been there 6 months and the amount of back stabbing, bitching and passive aggressive emails is really getting me down. Don't fancy going abroad though just need do find my passion in my work again |

I started travelling in 2001
Worked to save money, leave for 6 months come back get another job, save, leave and do it all again.
I stopped around 2011 for financial reasons and life has never been as good since 
I hate my current job, house and have few friends where I am now.
But am trapped financially 
I wish I could just tell my job to go fuck itself and run away!

"I'm in a position where I can, and it actually seems sensible.
You'll probably not regret trying it even if it doesn't work out. Nobody ever dies wishing they'd spent more time in the office. "
THIS !  |

I did it and dont regret it for one minute.
Cheated slightly though because I started off by taking 6-months unpaid leave.
I wasnt quite sure how it would all work out but 3 months into the leave I bit the bullet and resigned and Im still at it 20 yrs later... |

"I mean months.
Years? I wish.
I wouldn't want to do too much longer because it would begin to eat into my mortgage deposit savings."
Would taking unpaid leave for a few months not be an option? |

I doubt it - I work at a medium size organisation and I'm the only person here who does what I do. They'd need to fill that gap and putting everything externally would cost a fortune.
It's also part of the reason it's a good time to go - I need to move on somewhere else really, so the timing feels right before I commit elsewhere. |

"Ever feel like quitting your job, and buggering off to SE Asia for 2-3 (if you could)? I don’t fancy Asia but America sounds appealing  "
I backpacked around America for a few months in my early twenties - absolutely loved it! |
