It's best to keep your job to when the new one starts, you will thank yourself with the steady income. Also be sure to give a two week notice so you don't burn your bridges with your current job.

@NativeOregonian right, I've been working 5 months with no break. I've had 2 days off since then, not including my normal weekends. The income part doesn't matter. I have savings and live in the family house so I won't have to worry. I'd also give a 2 week notice.

@iamnikki I've done many months, and years, with hardly a day off, so I know what that is like. Even though you do have savings, you would be very surprised how fast those can go, specially if an emergency comes up that could wipe out that account. It is always best to be safe than sorry.

@iamnikki I will give you a realistic example. I am guessing it is summer where you live and a/c is needed. Now imagine the unit goes down and either needs repair, or replaced, and your parent's home owner's insurance no longer covers it due to its age. Air cons are expensive to replace, let alone repair, so it is best to keep working.
