My partner and I were laid off December 2019. In February 2020 my government started giving us both a lot of money every month. We were not working from 2020 until 2022, and made money anyway. We spent all of our time together, at home, going out as little as possible, doing everything we loved (we have all of the same hobbies and are homebodies).
That time was best for me too. I was forced to adapt to working from home, and I haven’t been back to an office since. I got a job in my dream industry as well, took a risk, and all is amazing now.
Hell yeah dude, I love to hear it. It sucks that there were destructive economy things… but if you and I were just some peeps before who were crushed by the boots of “you must come to office” capitalism and now have more comfy lives… at least something positive came out of it. I still have to go into an office half the time, but at least now half my time is chillin in bed doing nothing (and still performing better then anyone else on my team) and half the time I have to car to a place and it kinda sucks.
You deserve the awesome job you have, and everyone should be able to enjoy life like we do.

Best years of our lives.
Yeah borrowing from the future is fun. Until the future arrives. :/
Whatcha mean!
It’s like living off credit cards. It’s fun until the limit runs out and now you have to pay it all back.
I don’t quite understand. I didn’t have to pay anything back, we just saved a ton of money and bought a bunch of index funds hahaha.
We all paid and are paying it back via inflation.
(At least that’s how it is in my country)
Ahhhhhh alright you’re not wrong at all hahaha. Selfishly, it was the best time for us.
