To raid my savings for This?

[NewYearNiki]

In a nutshell, landmark birthday later this year.

Am single, made redundant a few months ago, no one to celebrate with. I'd rather be alone than spend it with family me scapegoat, sister is goldenchild and they will just spoil it & make it about themsleves

I effectively have nowhere to go.

I can afford it but shouldn't until job situ is sorted

Wibu to raid my savings and take myself off on an adventure holiday / tour somewhere?

[klf1307]

Course not. Enjoy every moment of your special time away 😊

[GreenTulips]

Yes do it! Live for today - go enjoy

[Ginorchoc]

I’d do it! Your landmark birthday won’t come around again and once you have a new job you might not get the chance!

[ConciseandNice]

Do it! Your money, your birthday, your life. Don’t answer to these people. You’d only regret it!

[MrsMaxwell]

Go to Zip World

[mothertruck3r]

Do it! Life is too short. Enjoy yourself.

[44PumpLane]

Will you regret it on your death bed? Probably not! I say do it!!!

(But don't leave yourself destitute)!

[InglouriousBasterd]

Fuck yes, do it and love every moment

[NewYearNiki]

So where to go then?!

[QuickSod]

Yes you definitely should!

[NoSquirrels]

Well, as soon as you get a new job you’ll have lost the opportunity (time) so do it. I would if I could!

[NextIndia]

I did this last year. I went to Paris and it was marvellous. Do it!

[NewYearNiki]

Thing is my birthday is summer time.

Booking now I could have a job by then.

[NextIndia]

And if I could afford to do it again this year, I'd go to a retreat in India.

Take the time whilst you’re not working. It will get your head ready for something new too.

[jay55]

Just saw your update, celebrate early and go now.

[NewYearNiki]

To give an example planning to spend about £1k doing a retreat.

Have about 30 times that in savings.

[NoSquirrels]

Book it for soon - it’s the Year Of Big Birthday, certainly good enough.

Go go go!! Oh the dream of being free to do such a thing, please go have an adventure while you can! And tell us about it!!

[NewYearNiki]

Ooh thanks for link.

I may as well go sooner. Before I turn that horrible age.

[fussychica]

Do it but don't leave yourself too short if you haven't got a new job sorted. Enjoy!

[Changednamejustincase]

New jobs tend to honour holidays that are already booked. Just tell them straight away that you already have commitments for whatever dates. Maybe keep your adventure to 2 weeks or less as a new job wouldn't be happy with a 5 week break.

[NewYearNiki]

Oh god I couldn't afford a 5 week holiday .

Maybe 10 days max I was thinking

[sameoldtat]

Please go and have an adventure, i am going to Florence later in the year.
