The article discusses a Redditor couple contemplating a work sabbatical despite having a net worth of $2 million and combined earnings of $700,000. While financially secure, 50% of their wealth is tied up in a property with low returns, raising concerns about the feasibility of their sabbatical plan. They currently manage a high annual savings rate, but the liquidity of their assets poses a potential risk. The article offers insights into balancing financial stability with personal life choices, especially when aiming for an early retirement lifestyle.
This family is in a strong financial position for the most part, but taking a sabbatical while half of their net worth is tied up and illiquid seems ill-advised.
In this potential scenario, they would live comfortably off what they have put away, all while (temporarily) saving less.
