25 People Who Quit Toxic Jobs With No Backup Plan

7. Having Money Makes It Easier

When the pressure is on, you can completely surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. It’s still a good idea to have some measures in place. @NicoleDeniseIAm shared their story that they had as much as six months’ worth of savings to rely on when they quit their job, making it much easier to find a job they wanted to work in.

They also determined not to let the idea of not having a job get to them, as that would be a self-defeating attitude. Instead, they kept their head up and persevered, looking for a great job in a new city that would be a good fit for them. They sound much happier with their new situation than they were with their old one. It’s the best outcome anyone can hope for when they’re thinking about leaving their current job.
