Wanting to take 6 months off work

Hey! I figured this is probably a great place to post and ask something like this :). Anyone here taken a long break from the working life? I’m currently 27 and feeling super lost. Spent all my time since 18 going to uni, getting jobs, climbing ridiculous fake ladders in the tech world. I’m absolutely exhausted and to be honest don’t feel as though I’ve been true to myself and my passions. I want to quit my job and take a stretch of time off work completely and step away from that world to work on myself, pursue some passions and redirect my life-path. My girlfriend of 3 years is extremely supportive of this, but I can’t help worry that I’ll be digging into savings to live that might’ve gone to a house or future children down the line. Any advice or experiences would be super appreciated! 🙂
