, I asked my friends for their advice.Realizing that I had enough in savings to take a break from the 9-to-5 opened me up to greater career options and made my decision easier.In 2015, I was tasked with making a big career decision: take a contract gig, or pursue freelancing full-time? About a month prior, I was unexpectedly let go about four weeks into what was supposed to be a one-year contract writing position.
While it would certainly be a good opportunity to squirrel away money into my savings, I wouldn't be doing much writing at the job.
