    I’ve had two stints of “no job, have survival and fun money and not looking” for a year and two years. Best times of my life. Working from home is almost as great, but it makes having to go into the office horrifyingly worse by comparison.

          its 100% luck 😭

          i had a really great paying job, but it was mentally and emotionally exhausting (not an inherent issue with the job, just didnt work for me). im currently living off of savings from it.

          i do advise that if you try this, you should start looking for a new job before you think you need to in case it takes longer to find something decent

          Also full-on luck for myself and my partner. Something happened and we both received free money during the couple years we were both unemployed on top of having been investing a bunch. We also got wild healthcare due to some circumstances, so I went from not having been to a doctor since I was a kid to doing like ten doctor things and elective surgery and tests out my butt cuz everything cost nothing. It was glorious, and I miss it very much.
