If You Were Unemployed, But Had A Hefty Savings Of 10K, In What Ways Would You Approach Your Job Search Differently?
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.
I would be broke in 2 months or less ... life got expensive quick where I live. I wonder where OP lives?
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.
Texas. My rent us 800 a month in a decent area. 1b 1b
Fuuuck, I wish my rent was less than 3 times that for a 1b 1b
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?
Is that 1 bedroom, 1 bath, or 1 bath, 1 bedroom?
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
