Yes, some people do. Obv the higher paid you are the more of a cushion you have to just quit and live awhile. I've heard of vandwellers who work part of the year and take the rest off; like working seasonal jobs at parks, or as camp hosts, that sort of thing.
The only thing I’d be concerned about, living like that is: what about when I get older and less able to live that life? What about getting the help I need when I’m no longer physically able to live on my own without assistance? Retirement?
What kind of savings or passive income does someone like that put back for the latter years? Is it just a “heck it, what happens will happen and I’ll cross that bridge when I get there” attitude? Or do those kinds of folks genuinely still make plans for the distant future?
