It didn't drag on me ever. First time was 3 months while looking for a job, loved my time watching movies and playing games not being burned out from a crap job. Second time was another 3 months when I made a crap load of money on Doge, with the same results. I have enough interests and hobbies that I want to learn/do where I'd never want to go back to a job.

I mean, sure, if you have money to watch movies and play games all day, you wouldn't be stressed. I'd say like 95% of people wouldn't have this luxury.

Can confirm. I finally landed a job after about 4-5 months of unemployment and there af the end I was going insane.

It was fun for the first month, then it got real.
