My 2 cents...

If you've been used to a steady paycheck, probably including insurance, for years and years, it's tough to forgo trying to reacquire that and focus on something that to this point likely has been beer money at best. Even if you were to have a nice long runway of severance or savings, now is not a good time to try build from scratch and bet your mortgage, car payments, etc on it. So I would not recommend a headlong leap into adult.

But...

There is one thing that does come with being temporarily unemployed. And that is time.

With that in mind, this is a good time to really sit down and spend some time to see if you can actually build something to get yourself an income stream while you wait on the next day job. If you lack some pieces due to cash flow such as hosting, content or whatnot, there are likely several of us here who can help you with those things. You strike me as type who would repay the favor should you "strike oil", and if you dont, no one is out anything significant anyway.
