That would last you two years of not working???? That wouldn't last me a year of rent (maybe 6 months or less), never mind other expenses like food. I don't even live in an overly expensive place like California or NY. I also don't have any extravagant expenses. What in the world place do you live in with rent that cheap?

The insane levels of post-COVID inflation has been a real bitch, though. Prior to COVID, that would have been around a year's worth of rent (but still not enough for other things like rent and utilities). But everything has skyrocketed since. But even pre-COVID, I can't imagine $10k being two years of total living expenses.
