No, if I’m between real jobs, I do whatever other sorts of work needed to pay my bills. I have worked with plenty of high skilled people who did just as I described though, immigrants, Americans, etc. they earn twice a European salary for two years, then get laid off in a downturn or quit and spend a year doing dumb shit and net out ahead anyway.
By the time you’re making $~400k, which is what you’d need to be doing what you describe, you’re not doing skilled work any more, you’re in executive management.
I’ll humor your dismissive and empathy-void phrasing, let’s agree that life of different for the “high skilled workers”, what percentage of society do they make?
Are you suggesting (as your tone implies) that everyone working a non high skilled job isn’t living the American way and shouldn’t deserve a life with job protections and without crushing debt, as the comment you directly replied to so callously was claiming?
Put a dollar amount on your real American way and tell me what percentage of society deserves to live the real American way.
Is that what you do between jobs? Woodworking and starting a successful YouTube career?
Most people burn through savings and turn to credit cards to survive between jobs, but I’m glad it’s working out for you buddy.

You can do it with $200k if your family has money
