<prompt> Human: 30 year old single male. 73k in my 401k. 20k in savings. Rent is currently 550mo, car payment 200mo, car insurance 4006 months, no other real expenses. Severence is worth about 9k. Company also covers 2 months of COBRA. Just weighing my options here. I have until May 31 before they officially let me go. In the meantime I am still able to apply for internal positions, none available locally though it is a global company. While I know applying for another job is the safe route, I see this as a great opportunity to travel the world most likely head to Asia which is something I have always wanted to do. Am I missing any drawbacks to this? What are the negatives here that I may have failed to take into consideration? Is there anything wrong with treating this as a 7 week paid vacation and coming back to look for a job afterward? Any insights or comments are greatly appreciated.  <response>: Is there anything wrong with treating this as a 7 week paid vacation and coming back to look for a job afterward?not really.
