Thinking about stepping away from work for a while? A well-planned financial runway can help protect you from surprises and a slower-than-expected return to work. 💰
Here are three savings funds worth building:
1️⃣ An emergency reserve of three to six months of essential expenses, kept separate from your sabbatical spending.
2️⃣ A sabbatical fund holding what you expect to spend during the break in cash or other stable, accessible holdings.
3️⃣ A re-entry reserve for the job search after your break, since recruiting cycles can run long for senior or niche roles. 🧭
Knowing your numbers ahead of time makes the whole break feel more relaxing. Read the full article for how to plan each one. 👉 https://simplicitywm.com/planning-a-sabbatical-from-your-tech-job-how-to-plan-financially/
