If You Were Unemployed, But Had A Hefty Savings Of 10K, In What Ways Would You Approach Your Job Search Differently? - lemdit.com
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.

More than 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Here's what researchers say is to blame.
Even 4 in 10 high-income households earning more than $100,000 are living paycheck to paycheck, a new study finds.
CBS NewsYea 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
Don’t blame the responders, look at your question. If what you really want to know is “if you had 2 years worth of savings to live on”, ask that. The low end average cost of living in the US anyway is $2,500, so 10k is 4 months of living expenses. That’s also about the average length of a job search.
In general, the OP seems a bit out of touch with a lot of things. They also recently asked why people stay in shitty jobs instead of just quitting them. Money. Money is why.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have my own apartment. Don’t hate just because you’re rent is 3k a month. Maybe budget better.
How do you budget rent away
I take one check and put it away, then next pay cycle I take a portion of that to add to the first chunk in my savings and then use all of that to pay my rent at the end of the month. I don’t spend any of my first check because that needs to be the majority of my rent while my second check I only need to pull 250 from
