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?

Yeah I'm super lucky. I live in a major city in Ontario. My rent is partially controlled due to provincial laws and my building being a bit old, and I've lived in it for about 5 years.

I'm kinda trapped though since I'd probably be paying double for a unit of the same size elsewhere in the city, and even more if I wanted to get an even slightly larger place, so I have to be happy with what I've got until the housing bubble bursts. I'm not complaining though, the building is well kept and in a very dense and walkable neighborhood with lots of amenities.
