I’ve been part of two layoffs in two years. I have no job. I have no savings. I have no retirement plan. I have no friends and I definitely have no live life to speak of. I turn 32 in a few days. I’m all for just living but right now living is approaching actual suffering if I’m not already there, but hey the bottom keeps getting lower, maybe I can figure out how to keep digging, I just see no value. The juice is quickly becoming not worth the squeeze. This is a stark contrast to where I was years ago when I at least had my dog, but I was a horrible owner. I don’t deserve much, if anything. I have no responsibility, and no one to hold me accountable for wasting away my life.
That’s one reason I threw in “to the extent that you can control it” because sometimes bad shit just happens.
But for what it’s worth, between 2019 and now I’ve had three financial disasters and my financial picture is way worse than it was. Debt free with emergency savings, used that up on a mess with the house, then lost my job twice over the Covid years after having been at the same place 15 years. But I’m also on the other side of it all where I have a job I like and I can start to rebuild.
But I also have a family and a ton of animals, so I’ve been holding all of that close. I wish you well!
