I love how you quantify your burn rate. I’ve been living off savings in much the same scenario. Mine is $6k.

Do you want to compare notes? I’m really curious to ask for details on where your burn rate adds up. Mine is half mortgage at around $2700/mo, but I’ve been surprised and a bit dismayed that an additional $3k per month seems inevitable. I’ve been trying to trim it as much as possible while still living life, but a lot of it is just… life things.

It’s ok if you don’t want to go into details.
