    If you acquired fuck-you $, how long would you be able to hang out on the beach/travel before you went nuts and started a new thing? If you’ve done this already, how long did you last in leisure society? Call it fuck-off number, measured in months. I suspect mine is 3 months

        Most peoples’ number is probably around 3–6 months. This is why I like to imagine what society would be like 8 months after UBI introduction.

        I would say about 3 to 4 weeks. I have a ton of freedom now to take time off. My non active hobbies are mostly reading, which inspire me to create, which makes me antsy to create. I don't think I could go too long reading things without wanting to create or work on things.

        I’d probably just start doing more civic volunteering and travel a more, but intermittently (having a school aged kid & a desire for them to attend a public school limits ability to be totally checked out for an extended period).

        Mine have all been about 2-6 weeks, where the discomfort gets cranked up increasingly as they turn into months

        If it was less than 12 months, I'm not sure I could properly relax. Not beach life, but a true deep dive (unless that qualifies as a new thing). I suspect my number is 12-24.

        18 months :) I’ve done it even when the money wasn’t all that eff-u. Though I did spend a lot of time plotting and learning and networking.

        I did 5 months. I got depressed and now work to see people.

        I keep thinking about this scenario. But, let me ask: if we are part of some collective or group with good personal relationships, won’t it solve it?
