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?

    $1100 for a one bedroom? That would be crazy good where I’m at even for a studio where you’ve got bullets flying at night. I’d blow through 10K in rent in a few months. Where the hell does OP live that they could survive 2 years? There’s no way I’m even in the same country as OP.

      Yeah I’m super lucky. I live in a major city in Ontario. My rent is partially controlled due to provincial laws and my building being a bit old, and I’ve lived in it for about 5 years.

      I’m kinda trapped though since I’d probably be paying double for a unit of the same size elsewhere in the city, and even more if I wanted to get an even slightly larger place, so I have to be happy with what I’ve got until the housing bubble bursts. I’m not complaining though, the building is well kept and in a very dense and walkable neighborhood with lots of amenities.
