I don't have a lot of advice other than find something that you enjoy to fill your time. With 6-12 months of emergency fund, and cutting your bills even further, you could enjoy your time off. Thankfully my wife is a Marriage and Family Therapist, and earns close to what we NEED, so all of our big bills (rent and mortgage, insurances, car notes, etc) are taken care of. So that means if I get laid off, there isn't a lot of pressure on needing to find another job. But as others have said, there are plenty of unsexy jobs available. I have also always had the idea that this is the last gig I am going to do, so if it ends, I might end up going full time into my furniture building hobby. Take it from a few grand a year to a few grand a month by working full time at it instead of tired nights and weekends.
