"f*ck-you money." It's a stash of money set aside specifically to allow you to live for several months without a job. So that if you just can't take the sleaze at work anymore, you're free to say "f*ck you" to the boss and stalk on out the door. There are a whole lot of people in terrible jobs who can't afford to leave. Don't be one of them.

I have the same fund.  3 months of expenses in rolling 3 month CD's.
I've never had to say FU to the boss, but I know that he cannot push me to do something that I don't to do.
he says Jump! I say.. Do I really want to jump?
he says Jump this high! I say... do I really feel like jumping that high?
as for the job.. well it's called job. it's called work. it's a means to an end. it's what you do, trading time for money, and that's the way that most people do it. if you find something you love and get paid for it, you're ahead of the game.
