<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinance. Sorry for the long backstory, theres a TL;DR at the bottom.Im currently employed as a teacher in an urban charter school. Its my first year teaching after spending over 4 years working in IT. I pursued a career change, but its not working.I am the only teacher in my subject area, teaching close to 300 students with only one hour in the middle of the day to prep. My classes have up to 40 students in them. The amount of work is staggering and stressful. Ive had zero support, and been given additional duties to do on top of my teaching expectations which makes it nearly impossible to have a life outside of school. Im literally at work for 12 hours a day M-F, and catch up on work on weekends.This week I was called into the admins office and given a 1-day unpaid suspension for failing to live up to our expectations. I highly doubt they will fire me, as they dont have someone that can teach my subject that wont make them look bad as a school on audits, but in the meantime they are going to make my life a living hell. Its already bad with admins videotaping my classes and then nitpicking everything I do wrong.Anyway, I started to see things get bad in December so I started applying to other jobs back in the IT sector. I have been to several interviews but no job offers yet. I want to quit my current job due to the toxic work environment and for my own mental health, but Im scared I wont find work for months and Ill be screwing myself over.Current Financial Situation monthly bills:Rent wall utilities included: 900Car Payment: 358Car Insurance: 70 its pay-per-mile insurance so this could be lower depending on how much I driveStudent Loans: 31Cell Phone: 90 contractPersonal Loan: 376Groceries: about 250Im single, my lease is up in a year, and I cant sell my car its upside down but I have a warranty and gap insurance. It looks like I need about 2200mo to stay afloat.I currently have 1650 in my checking account after paying all January bills including rent for February, another 2000 in a separate savings account, and 4000 in a money-market account. I also have 38k in a tax-deferred IRA and about 800 in my current employers 401k. In my state, I would not be eligible for unemployment if I quit voluntarily.TL;DR: My job is toxic and ruining my mental healthlife and I want to quit before I have another job. Monthly bills of 2200 and savings of 6000. What would you do?  <response>: Dont quit. Let them fire you so you get unemployment. Hope you find something soon.
