Thoughts about leaving your job with no savings and no plan? Before holiday season. I’m miserable, but I know that if I quit figure I’d it out, I always have.
My only fear is that it tends to be easier to get jobs while you’re employed… also helps with negotiations. But is it worth it?

Should probably start applying for other jobs but got no energy

You can just freelance… if you have no big debt and no kids, the is suggest just freelancing while you look for a new gig. The market is good for you right now for both freelance and FT. I think the old idea of having a job to get a job is not as big anymore since so many people are leaving.

Credit card debt but yeah I think that’s what I’ll end-up doing. Real question is if beginning of year actually ok for freelance? I know market is booming but January was always dead anywhere I worked

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.
