A few months ago I quit my job and have not found a new one.

What age are both of you? Do you have any other asset (is your home paid off if you have one?) I'm guessing your around age 35-50, in which case 500,000 EUR won't be enough for a retirement most likely. However, you both could consider part time or a staged retirement. 500k EUR would likely be able to support this plan

29 and 30. home is completely paid off. retirement at 30 is kind of sad?

You guys are doing very well for yourselves if your only low 30s with that amount of assets. However, at that age and with that amount of funds, you would probably need more money for an actual retirement. You could both work for 10 more years and then retire? With some contributions from a job, coupled with investment returns, your money should double to 1mil EUR in 10 years.

yeah that would be the reasonable thing do, get back to a regular job and work until retirement. Make and raise kids.
I know this will sound pretty childish but all of that seems pretty normal and slightly boring.
I cant really shake off the impression that i should expect more from life and do something extraordinary .

That's more than enough money and asset to start a business or go on vacation or start a business where you go on vacation.

One of the things we had in mind was to travel around the world and settle in the place we would like the most.
Is that running away from responsibility?

>responsibility
For what?

>>18531904
What I described as a normal life (job,kids,etc...) is what's expected of us by our families and by society, it's the "right" thing to do do. I know that sounds really conservative but we both have been raised with these kind of moral and societal imperatives...

Mate youre asking in 4chan. The commoner isnt on 4chan. Its your life and your money use it when you need it.

>>18531929
That kind of sucks. I can't really think my way out of that mindset for you but it doesn't sound very healthy.
In any event, you two need to fuck more often.

>>18531929
You could have kids now and retire at 50. At that age you should still be mobile, and able to travel, while also upholding societal values of the family. Also your kids should be able to take care of themselves at that age

>>18531939
Fuck that made me laugh.
And yeah I know it's not healthy but when you're pretty much indoctrinated its kind of hard to change your mindset

>>18531938
That's the whole point of asking 4chan for advice.
