The point is not to chill and just burn through the savings and not work. How would having that much money saved, change the way you look for jobs?

Don't blame the responders, look at your question. If what you really want to know is "if you had 2 years worth of savings to live on", ask that. The low end average cost of living in the US anyway is $2,500 a month, so 10k is 4 months of living expenses. That's also about the average length of a job search.

In general, the OP seems a bit out of touch with a lot of things. They also recently asked why people stay in shitty jobs instead of just quitting them before they have another job lined up. Money. Money is why.

I'm guessing they maybe live with their parents who only make them pay nominal rent, giving them the freedom to not have many bills and to allow them to have large stretches of time between jobs if needed.

Looking at OP's post history, they also have a history of trolling and shitposting, so I'm guessing this is just more of that.
