re: Ever resign from a job with nothing lined up?

I was fired a few years ago, sat on the bench 9 months before I could find a suitable replacement, if I had 1 year of savings I wouldn't hesitate, two weeks of expenses no way. i had one weeks of expenses left to my name when i started the new gig. (making 40% less), still 4 years later haven't made it back to where i was.
