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?

      This is the answer. We are in this position now. Husband still unemployed, but has turned down several low offers. If we didn’t have savings, he would have taken a job below what is enough to live on, but at least it’d be something.

      With the cushion, he job searches full time instead outside working hours.
