None.
I have been out of work for two months after my new employer decided to delay my start date indefinitely due to the pandemic. I've been searching for other jobs in the mean time. I wouldn't bother looking if I could swing it financially long term.
I work to live. Not the other way around. I'm capable of finding useful activities to fill my time. The time off has been great and I don't look forward to returning to the grind.
I have worked for nine different companies in four different industries since I started working at 17. In every case work has robbed me of my time and mental health. If I had the option I would not choose to work.
