The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

    I would be broke in about 4 months with $10K in reserve if I dialed back everything to the bare minimum. It would make my job search extremely urgent.

        If I was still in my own place I think 2 months would be a stretch, I’m currently sharing a house with my in laws so that’s helping us out.

          Stay where you are as long as you can, that’s an amazing deal if it’s a good area.

            I appreciate that thank you. I am. My apartment is fine, but I also don’t have a shit ton of the upgrades that they’ve been doing to other apartments. That’s another reason it’s low. I actually need to re new my lease, they left a note on my door yesterday
