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?

What everyone in this comment section calling out “10k isn’t much” are failing to understand is that over 60% of the USA live paycheck to paycheck and don’t have any savings to speak of. Extend that to the world and you would go pale.

Check your privilege and get educated.

Yea seriously thank you. I’m like mind blown that ppl don’t think that’s a lot of money. 10K would last me almost 2 years not working. I’m single, no dependents, my rent is cheap and I own my car. What’s the deal here man? Why’s everyone pissing on 10k as chump change? That’s a lot of money man

My apartment, which is about 22 square meters, costs me 1300 dollars a month. Add in a electricity, food, Public transit card, mobile data, and other small necessary things, and it’s at least 1800 dollars a month. And that’s without any extra expenses like fun things.

Which would, of course, last under 6 months. That’s not a lot of time. I’d need to start a job search immediately to be safe.
