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 a month, 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 before they have another job lined up. Money. Money is why.
I'm guessing they maybe live with their parents who only make them pay nominal rent, giving them the freedom to not have many bills and to allow them to have large stretches of time between jobs if needed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 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
I don't get how this has anything to do with "not hating because your rent is 3k a month" when it comes to having just 10k
