3 months atm. (I've saved that much in expenses). I'm a student though so that helps..

2 weeks if I drinked as much as I do during those 3 months... 🙁

 

[Pepsei]

many many years.... if i can get out of country in time with all the money. or if i get caught, i get to be in jail for many many years too....

 

[sash1]

as i said in a previous thread, i'd be a very successful homeless dude

 

[SlitheryDee]

Let's see. The house note is due on the 24th, car note is due on the 28th...

[SmoochyTX]

Where's da pole man?

 

[TallBill]

Plenty long

 

[MotF Bane]

Unemployed, full-time college student.

 

[StinkyPinky]

Probably half a year without any income

 

[sdifox]

6 months or so in terms of money.

20 min in terms of ego... Me, let go? WTF???

 

[LilPima]

depend what day of the month it happens! not long.

 

[rudeguy]

18 days so far for me. If something doesn't happen by Friday, I might have to take a look at selling a couple things.

 

[Jumpem]

Assuming my wife keeps working, three months.

My goal is to save enough to where we could get by with only one of us working for a year, and both of us unemployed for six months.

 

[nickbits]

a yearish

 

[Eli]

If I didn't find a new job within 2 weeks, I'd be done.

 

[zerocool84]

1 day

I'd spend it all on hookers and blow.

 

[Corporate Thug]

probably a year or so.

 

[clamum]

Probably over a year. I have $16k in the bank: rent + utilities is about $250/month, plus food, plus $40 cell phone bill, plus some entertainment expenses (minimal now, I'd cut down even more) per month.

 

[SSSnail]

Shit, this reminds me I need to make a few phone calls. This whole time I thought I was on extended vacations.

I'd buy your body :heart:

 

[mugs]

Well, my wife works so it's just be a slow drain on the bank account.

If we both lost our jobs we could last over a year on liquid savings; longer if we cashed out the mutual funds, and longer still if we cashed out our retirement accounts.

I've lasted about a year so far.. but I got a decent severance package.. I can make another year, but I will probably be moving in with a friend to reduce living expenses.. I am going back to school in July
