It's always good to have a financial buffer, but I've never really needed it. Recruiters find me on LinkedIn and call or mail me. I generally blow them off or ignore them, unless I'm actively looking or they have something that catches my eye. I suppose I could do my own acquisition; cutting out the middle man would probably increase my hourly rate, but that's a lot of work I don't like, and this works well enough for me.
