What you don't want to do is to use up all the "extra money you've put away" -- by being in an unemployed situation beyond your control. Then that would make all the long hours of work just go down the drain. That would make me suicidal!
I reminded my kids daily -- SCHOOL is the easiest thing you'll ever do... 'cause after that.... life starts and it's far longer and far harder.
So, I would remind you... that a couple of months of living in your current situation should be looked at as "the easy part".... Find work that you WANT in a part of the country you want - then make the jump - keeping all the extra dough you saved up as a "reward" for the crappy time you spent.
