Definitely agree. It's not unlike buying a car before you really need one or anything in life where desperation comes into play. You just have that extra confidence when you don't absolutely need what it is that you're looking at/interviewing for/etc and you can hold more of the cards that way.
Sorry to hear about your news, but best of luck. These guys on this forum are great for inspiration and good advice, hope you stick around
