I'm OK financially for some time. Apart from the severance package, I've got enough savings to last for a couple of years before I even have to start dipping into the long-term investments. I've been through lean times a couple of times before, so I'm always pretty careful to keep a decent buffer.
And yeah, I do tend to live pretty frugally. "Shabby but functional and comfortable" is usually good enough except on those rare occasions when I'm trying to make a good impression.
Although I wouldn't *mind* taking another software position, given a choice I'd prefer to be doing something more hands-on.
