Well yeah that’s the only downside, running out of money. Everything else is paradise. I took a year and a half off now and it was probably the best time of my life. I travelled extensively, hiked a lot, built a lot of high end furniture, spent quality time with my wife and kid, took on construction projects (barn, chicken coop, running path etc.) around my property, ate delicious home cooked meals leisurely, lifted weights, went to interesting conferences, concert and shows. Life was amazing and it wasn’t all that expensive. I can’t wait to FIRE which should be possible over the next 5 years.
I stopped working and then I ran out of money. For me, a toxic job is better than not having a place to live. You can learn to cope with toxic (whatever that even means), and you can't manifest yourself a place to live.

Did you end up homelessness because you’ve left toxic job and felt great after two months of not working there?

And they might find a better job and make twice as much money while being happier. You never know.
