Local Man Travels World With Trust Fund

Today’s must-read: Joe Veix’s parody of the “I quit my job to travel” essay in The New Yorker:

Why I Quit My Job to Travel the World – The New Yorker

I set to work packing my bag and throwing out most of my possessions. Whatever didn’t bring me joy went straight in the trash. You don’t need to own a lot of “stuff” to be happy, especially when you can buy whatever you later realize that you need with your massive inheritance.

Yes, I know that not everybody who quits their job to travel the world has a trust fund like this fictional character. With that said, grab whatever cool drink you’re sipping on this warm afternoon and enjoy this delightful—and all too realistic—piece.
