> I do not believe I will ever be able to experience “a month of reduced stress” until the day I die.
Read your sentence again, so you can see how ridiculous it is. What do you have to do that is so incredibly important that you have to throw away your entire life for it?
There are billions of people who provide for their families without being stressed out until the day they die. You should ask one of them how they do it.
Or you are using your family as an excuse for your self destructive patterns.
Please tell me how as an average American I can take a month off work.
You blaming me for the capitalist hellscape I happen to have been born into is hilariously absurd. I have some very not nice things I’d like to say to you, but I’ll just leave it at that.
If you have a real suggestion on how I can not work for an entire month, I’m all ears. But I think you prefer to just think you’re smarter than everyone, but have no actual idea of how the world works.
No, I don't think so. I have no idea how your life is, because you haven't told me. But taking one month away from work is not something impossible, it is something common for people to do. Also for people who earn less than you and for people who are less intelligent than you.
You could ask your boss for a month off as a first step, if that's what you want.
