We’d Need $288,000 to Quit Our Job and Travel the World

Would you quit your job to travel? A new poll says the average American would need $288,000 to drop everything and explore the world. How much would it take for you?

How much money would it take for you to quit your job, drop everything, and travel the world?  Someone polled 2,000 Americans, and the average answer was $288,000.  (Or if you want to be specific, $287,731.)

18% said they’d take off for less than $50,000, while 32% said they’d need at least half-a-million.  And this last group either loves their job or hates traveling:  17% said no amount of money could get them to drop everything and leave.

The poll also asked what you’d do if you suddenly had a MILLION-DOLLAR travel budget you had to spend.  Here are the top five answers . . .

1.  Take your family and friends on a dream vacation.

2.  Go on a REALLY long road trip.

3.  Visit as many famous landmarks as you could.

4.  Visit the Seven Wonders of the World, or other historical sites.

5.  Start working on a “travel bucket list.”

Meet Scott and Sadie: the anti-heroes of morning radio turned podcast renegades. Scott’s 40 years in broadcasting have left him fluent in snark, while Sadie’s nepotistic origins (thanks, Mom!) brought the unfiltered charm that made them a Northern Colorado favorite. After corporate radio ghosted them harder than a bad Tinder date, the duo ditched FCC babysitters and went full rogue. Now, they’re back with a podcast that’s equal parts wit, sarcasm, and a big middle finger to mediocrity. Loyal fans, curious newcomers, or algorithm strays—welcome to the chaos.
