26 years old, single. No debt besides $120K on home. $100K in retirement (vested) and $100K in taxable accounts. Currently paying $400 extra per month on $1000 mortgage.
Package is 26wks of base pay (based on 7 yrs experience, $60K before taxes)+ 1 year paid COBRA, effective January 13th.
I have some friends suggesting this is a time to complete home projects, travel, etc but my gut feeling says I should find a job ASAP for the certainty it provides. Maybe a job offer with a later start date is a good ballance?
Any advice for my situation? What would you do?
