Supposing you have enough funds, would you quit your job to take a break? I think i'm on a verge of a burn out but i feel guilty becos there are people worse than me.

Actually if there is sufficient savings for 10-12 months expenses, it is ok to quit a job and take on a part time job (can be 3 days a week). Doesn't mean you're a degree graduate, you can't do things like customer service at a bubble tea shop, any local tourist attractions, helping out at a pet shop, or food delivery. It can be quite liberating to get out of the corporate office job. You still earn a little bit and can use SkillsFuture credit to take up training (First Aid, flower arrangement, cooking). All skills are useful skills. Learn outside of your profession while you rest and it might lead you to discover new interests and strengths, and lead you to a better and more suitable career after the break.

​

And the duration of the break is determined by yourself. It doesn't mean you stop looking for a job while you take a break. You can set a goal/timeline. For example, 1-3 months full break and next 6 months job searching/going for interviews while holding a part-time job. Anything is possible.

1 if you have no debts and not much of commitment, take a break can be better. Similar situation as you

Actually I am in similar situation. I am ard 50. Feel burnout recently after long working year and wish to take a break. Financially ok. But the other noise of myself is

• what am I going to do during this break. Really going tired?
• am I able to make a comeback? will it hard for a guy in 50s to get a decent job?

Maybe one can go for a tour first and decide what one to do next..
