RE: Making the best decision of my life
I did a similar thing in my 20s. Took $200 and drove to jackson, wy. Got a job at the Alpenhof (7.50/hr!), lived in the attic, saved every $ I could, had 100+ days on the mountain, took my savings to Vegas at the end of the season and gambled for the next 12 years.
It's trite but true: we only regret the things we don't do. Congrats on living your life!
Living off $200?! that is crazy, I unfortunately got stuck in a day job so didn't get that 150 day season I have always dreamed of. You have got it right though, paving the way for the rest of us crazy kids without a path to follow. did you find there was any repercussions or regrets from taking off for that long?
I arrived in jackson with $94. haha. luckily found a job right away and they let me live in the attic.
regrets, no. repercussions, no but I ended up falling into a gambling career that lasted quite a while. Jobs suck. I'll work for someone else if necessary but only as long as necessary. I'm not the most qualified person to comment on career building.
