You're out of job effective tomorrow or your regular clients fold if you're self-employed.
Considering your costs and savings, how long can you stay afloat without a new source of income?
If you go on the dole, does it let you carry on much longer?
Don't count credit cards in, that's cheating.

Worryingly, I wouldn't last 1 month. I'd have to get a job within the 4 weeks notice period.

3 months. Maybe longer. Depends how reckless I am.

Actually, on second thoughts - 6 months. I'd move in with Chossy.

Can I move in with Chossy too?

4 months i reckon... but if I had to be cautious probably 6, as i'd stop using iTunes and buying a new pair of trainers every couple of weeks!

2 weeks, maybe 1

6-8 months depending on any unforseen circumstances draining the pockets. Its sod's law the roof falls in when you are desperate to hold on to funds.
- mistermik0
about 18 months i think.

I have a 4 month buffer but sell my car before I started to use it

2 months

About 6-8 months for me as well. I'd be on the lookout immediately if I knew there was the possibility of work drying up though.

fucking hell, how on earth can you guys afford that??
less than a month for me, as I have difficulty getting through one as is ;D
I'd need a job of some sort pretty much as soon as the other one wound up. Any job at all.
