We made it through the summer and wanted to thank you all for your comments. In particular, the posters who recommended we not apply for COBRA until after a health emergency occurred. My wife found comparable employment and your advice allowed us to conserve most of our savings because, thankfully, everyone stayed healthy. I'm still in school and secured a summer internship for my new field, and am still employed part time with my previous position. Cannot think my employer enough as they allowed me to work full-time during my wife's job search and go back to part time when she got hired and I went back to school. So anyway, thanks to everyone who had such great advice!
