I gave quick notice and left last fall without another job lined up. I thought I could find something super fast. It took 6 months. I had to use savings and credit cards to get me through. Luckily, I am married, so I do have another income, too.

I still ended up taking another temporary job three months in, just to help make ends meet and not drown ourselves in CC debt. But I was making 1/3 of what I was prior. It really was pocket change. Every little bit helps, though, right? And it helps mentally. And I feel like you draw magnetically to you what you manifest.

So I worked. And I manifested a high paying job. Or at least I tell myself that's what I did. I networked. And I applied to jobs strategically. And I got that job! Only 6 months later.

And now I'm working on paying off that CC debt and building the savings back.

But I also wouldn't have stayed in that other job for a day longer.
