There’s some jealousy here to be sure - we’d all love to live this life. But she’s your typical Millennial hypocrite. She’s a one percenter who obviously has here had to struggle in her life to make ends meet and makes a ton of wealth that she spends on extravagances and probably shows up at all the appropriate protest marches because “she cares”
In other words - entitled, spoiled brat.
Looking at it from an investment standpoint. Her being so young she could work her tail off and sock away a lot for retirement. With compounding interest over the decades it will grow to a tidy sum. She could still take off a year or more with her current enjoyable lifestyle or go permanent with it while her retirement investments grow plus staying out of debt. Just my opinion.
Certainly not ‘Burned Out’ in any way that is even close to reality. These people are checking out of career-oriented positions (no fast-food workers in the article) in their mid-20’s...25, 26? After having probably graduated from a college at 22, 23?
So having worked in the real world for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years in positions that really weren’t all that mentally taxing (no Manhattan Trial Lawyers or Nuclear Physicists in the bunch...salesguy and fashion design (nothing wrong with those positions, just not top of the charts credentials needed)...they check out?
Sorry...with that back story, you will *never* work for me. I can’t trust you not to bail out on me after I invest the first 2 to 3 years getting you up to speed; resume, meet trash can.
