6 months with no problems

If you want to stay out longer than 6 months you will need to file a travel document and pay money.

1 year maximum unless you have a job or sick family...

As a permanent resident of the United States you have to reside permanently in the United States. Sure, you can take a vacation or even two or three every year if you can afford it, but how much vacation time do you actually have?

If you don't work and don't have to work because you are independently wealthy, you can take longer vacations, of course, or even travel the world. If you get back to the U.S. after 10 months abroad and point to your Lear Jet on the runway, nobody will give you a hard time.

What CBP will not allow is for a permanent resident to reside outside the United States and thus abusing his privileges as a resident. So from about 6 months on you can expect to be questioned about your absence from the United States, and when your answers make sense to the CBP officer and you have documentation for this, then you won't have a problem being readmitted even up to 1 year of being absent from the U.S.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Up to one year with no travel document. Plan to demonstrate that you maintained a US residence if you stay out longer than 6 months

Staying more than 6 months is risky for your later naturalization process.

In addition, you will be required to show your continuation of residence in the USA.

Make your re-search before staying for more than 6 months in oversea destination.
