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.

            Yea. It’s rough out there for everyone. A friend of mine is paying 1700 a month for a 2b in California. Dude, I’d be homeless. There’s no way I could afford to pay that every month.

            There’s also an app called Flex

            They pay a portion of your rent every month so you don’t get behind. They split it up

            What state are you in?

            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
