Yes, I guess investments, etc., but 1.5 years is a long time.

I don't think I could go more than 2-3 months. Maybe I should start saving some money.

Location matters a LOT.

The parent comment mentioned North America. This is huge. Tech salaries in Europe are half what they are in NA. In India, they're like 1/4 to 1/3.

Saving is absolutely important, especially in such a layoff-ridden industry. You should really strive to get at least 6 months of living expenses into savings.
