<prompt> Human: Hi PF,Im27m currently contemplating of quiting my job. Is it advisable to quit before I find a replacement? Currently have enough savings to go around for 6month. If I would to quit my job, it will be next month since Im waiting for my year end bonus. Current liability is 18k student loans.  <response>: The short answer is no, this isnt a good idea. I did it once in my life and got away with it new job turned up very soon afterwards. At this point in time I had no mortgage, pets or kids so it was less of a problem for me if it hadnt worked out with another job right away. Look its a risk. Think about worst case scenario and how youd cope. Im in UK and we are blessed with our medical service: if youre US based isnt the medical cover the main issue for you?
