<prompt> Human: I was able to quit a job I absolutely hated because of my emergency fund. Four months later, Im starting a better job with better benefits and better pay because I took the time to network without having to worry about bills.  <response>: My husband and I are in this same type of situation right now. Our emergency savings allowed him to leave an abusive work environment and transition to a much better place, even though the job doesnt start for another month. We still feel secure and can still pay all of our bills and even still have a little fun, entirely because we had a solid emergency savings built up.
