[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No!  If you quit, you can't file for unemployment.  [/quote]

I did and it was 3 months before I started a new job and that is actually not very long.  I devoted all my time --like a job--to looking for jobs and applying.  It was very stressful and my mortgage and health care were my major cash expenses.  I depleted my savings and racked up some debt.  If you do feel like you need to quit, be sure that you have a lot of savings because as the quoted poster said, you will not be able to file for unemployment.  [/quote]

Did you all not read her post? They can comfortably live on DH's income, but will save less each month.  OP - I say do it, but wake up every morning and diligently look for your next step.  The right job can easily take 6-12 months to find and land.  Prepare for that.  I quit my job in late-20's because I had an abusive boss with a crush on me - not a good mix. It was miserable and so draining on our marriage.  Quitting was the best thing I could have done - found my dream job 6 months later.

One thing to keep in mind:  will you have to use this job/boss as a reference? As hard as it may be, try to leave on the very best terms possible.

Good luck![/quote]
