Totally this. I moved away from the US many years ago, and having the luxury to go a few months without work and not have to worry about things like health insurance is phenomenal. You can find a new job at your own pace, when you're actually genuinely excited about it. Also, there are enough other people around you who are taking their time that you don't feel like garbage for not having a job (somehow in the US, even when I was more than financially secure, I felt like it was 'not ok' to not be working)
