Quit Runway (Can I Afford to Leave?)
quit_runwayHow long your savings last after leaving a job — and whether new income overtakes costs before they run out. The personal version of a startup runway: savings, a quit-mode budget, the costs your employer was quietly covering (health insurance above all), and the income you’d be growing instead. Answers the two questions that matter: how many months you have, and whether the new income crosses your costs before month zero.
