From experience, I can say that it's stressful and unsatisfying to do approximately "nothing." I recommend taking a hard look at your finances and setting up some kind of concrete goal(s). Take that class, build that joke app, polish your resume -- Whatever it is, just have your goal clearly defined and at the right difficulty level. You've basically just been transported forward in time 2 years and you're sure to have a lot of culture to catch up on, friends, family and acquaintances with whom to reconnect, and reflective thoughts to ponder. Don't be too hard on yourself as you build a new foundation from which you'll make your next move. As for money, my advice is to be wary of stringing along odd jobs for income. I think that kind of instability does more to harm your environment of freedom than to extend your runway of cocoon-mode.
