By now I\u2019m sure that you, whether as an employer or employee with a thumb on the pulse of the cultural tides of the working crowd, have heard of the term, \u2018micro-retirement\u2019, or <\/span>\u2018mini-retirement\u2019<\/span>. It\u2019s really just the Gen-Z term for taking a <\/span>gap year, but for adults: it\u2019s a pause<\/span> from your career to mentally recharge and\/or finally follow your dreams. <\/span>It\u2019s not the same as a sabbatical \u2013 which the baby boomers will know as a paid break from your job for a few months\u2013 but in many ways it can act as one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I decided to actually try micro-retirement. The cost of being burnt out was getting too great to justify monthly financial security, and it was time for a <\/span>career break <\/span>shift<\/span> anyways. But I\u2019d need a plan. So as I wrote up my resignation, I also <\/span>did some reflecting<\/span> and mapped out my situation. Financially, I had an emergency stash kept for times like this, exactly like all those <\/span>finance articles stipulate<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>I was actually financially independent with no debt, so I could ration out my savings for the 3-6 months I planned out for my mini retirement. <\/span>Mentally, besides being shrivelled up and crying out for a break, I sorted out my budget expectations for this season, namely that I would have to say \u2018no\u2019 more to spending. And I dived in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once I Stepped Onto The Dance Floor, I Realised I Had Two Left Feet<\/b><\/h3>\n

So here\u2019s the thing: I thought I would be just fine money-wise. According to the general consensus, I, for my demographic, was better off in savings and had wayyyy less financial commitments than the average city-dwelling millennial Malaysian. Plus, I pre-planned so that my pinching pennies started maybe 2-3 months in advance to acclimatise myself to the new way of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, reality is so much colder than what I envisioned. The sheen has worn off my new found freedom to reveal\u2026 disconcerting things about myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Spotlight, The Self-Illusions, The Pressure<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

My prior spending habits, for one, were now under a magnifying glass. It turns out that lifestyle creep had a stronger hold on me than I realised, because \u2013HEAR ME OUT\u2013although I\u2019m a pretty low maintenance person and over the years had actively adjusted my budgeting to AVOID that creep, I had gotten used to certain luxuries like impulse Shopee checkouts. And man. Holding back from retail therapy was uncomfortable, itchy, annoying, like the sticky heat of a sun-baked car.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Facing this issue recalled to mind my giveaway winning streak on social media off the end of covid. By streak, I mean like, winning 11 giveaways over the span of 18 months. And so,<\/span> in the midst of my supposedly free and easy micro-retirment<\/span>, my poor friends started receiving \u201cSarah tagged you in @facecream giveaway\u201d notifications every few days. Hey, the allure of free stuff when you can\u2019t shop y\u2019know?<\/span><\/p>\n

Cue The Panic<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Distressed<\/p>\n

My biggest problem was that I also started getting worried unnecessarily about having enough money. The wild thing is that I actually DO, even after a few unexpected major expenses graciously availed themselves. My <\/span>temporary <\/span>micro-<\/span>retirement<\/span> budget remains solid. Regardless, I started scrutinising my \u2018yes\u2019es and started saying \u2018no\u2019 much more to a social life, something I did not foresee nor encountered before, even in university when money was tighter. But that\u2019s just not how I want to spend my friendships, so to me, this was a PROBLEM.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making dough was yet another unpredictability. Suddenly, I was willing to spend copious amounts of my time and effort just to make a few extra tens of ringgit on jobs that previously I wouldn\u2019t have batted 3 eyelids at. On paper, it was a bit ridiculous because I used to hold a management-level position. It took me 2 thrifting booth weekends and many Carousel posts later to finally throw in the towel and work on my CV for freelance jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

What was my problem? I had a good safety net. I had planned and budgeted. Did others like me, financially secure, at a similar place in life, enjoying micro-retirement worry too? Was worrying about money when you already have enough superficial, or actually a survival instinct?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or was it a Me problem?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo The Other Dancers Also Have Two Left Feet?\u201d<\/b><\/h3>\n

I chatted with some friends about it. The first one,<\/span> a fellow adulting friend I had made after I started work,<\/span> had built up a modest passive income stream <\/span>via investing<\/span> during her working years.<\/span> She has a self-admitted inability to save, so that was her way of creating a safety net.<\/span> Her micro-retirement did not factor into that plan per se,<\/span> nor did she do any sabbatical planning,<\/span> but now she\u2019s happily living off that<\/span> passive income<\/span> with no qualms, and that includes travelling and a car loan. However, that WILL run out eventually and she acknowledged that when that time comes, then she\u2019ll worry. <\/span>If only I <\/span>could have her confidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Friend 2, <\/span>one I got to know just last year, <\/span>is married and part of a double income household. And with her own micro-retirement being absolutely rejuvenating, she\u2019s ready to head back into the workforce\u2013though<\/span> without any great urgency\u2013not because of the money, but because she still has passion for what she does.<\/span> For her, mini retirement this time was more like a career pause, or a sabbatical, rather than a dreamchaser situation.<\/span> However, it does help that it coincides with her surplus funds running low, and concern about paying off major loans are starting to creep in. <\/span>Sounds almost like my own worries<\/span> but still her worries are reasonable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at our situations, I guess it really boils down to our personalities. We all enjoyed our micro-retirement during the first month: eyes cleared, sleep was enough, minds were uplifted, faces brightened. Money was not on our minds. We\u2019re all financially secure. <\/span>Health-wise our mental health, sleep, and even physical health recovered.<\/span> But after a while our paths diverged. One friend thrives on living in the moment and has enough money, so no worries there. The other one actually has legitimate concerns but is looking for her dream job now. But I have the money AND the concerns. What does that say about me?!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dance To Your Own Song, For Your Own Self\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

After the chats and some deep probing, I surmised that my relationship with financial security is probably not as comfortable around uncertainty as I\u2019d assume. <\/span>Ironically, I found that out when I was supposed to be blissfully worry-free during micro-retirement. Anyhow, t<\/span>his season was a test on its own\u2013 how willing was I to watch my hard-earned financial security decrease, even though I could earn it back the moment I became employed?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m the clingy, insecure, and jealous partner here. The thing is, I guess it\u2019s okay and normal to feel overprotective over my money, but when it starts taking over my life, seeping negatively into my actions, my habits, then it\u2019s a red flag signaling that it\u2019s time to see how I can work on making it healthy, for me. And probably the friends I always tag in giveaways.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
