This is exactly why I'm staying put in my job for now instead of trying for a bigger salary. Doesn't pay great but it's stable for now.

Can you move back in with your parents? Half of all young american adults do.

Contact recruiters and pick up a contract. Back yourself.

>>50165167
Well look on the bright side, you dont own a house so you're not tied down to that location opening up your search for a new job to a wider area.

pick one.

I am also 32, I don't have that much saved 50k in 401k, 2k in crypto and 11k in stocks and -100k in a house.
Can you move? Or do you have to stay until the end of the year or something?
That is a lot to pay in rent. My mortage is $600 and I have setup my life so I can easily ride out unemployment once the recession hits and either me or my wife loses our job.
I mean, you could eat out of your crypto for the next two years, but that cash would last you a lot more if you moved into a smaller place.
I would assume if you made 120k you would have more savings than this.

It's a meme you dip

>What do? I wanna day drink and I have bad anxiety as it is.
You're allowed one blow out for catharsis, then get back on the train. You have enough saved to weather it.

I suggest you buy some outdoor gear research survival tactics. It's gonna get rough out there. Get cheeky or die breeky

>What do?
Look for another job?

>>50165167
Cash out your crypto, collect EI. And move out of that overprice apartment. I can’t believe you fags think 1900$ for an apartment is acceptable.

>>50165167
I've been laid off from every job I ever had, you'll get used to the homelessness

>>50165167
I am 30 year old.
have 50k cash in various accounts.
No debt.
I haven't looked for a job in 2 years. my pay is ass(48k). I have no 401k.

Don't start drinking man, you can take a week off and do something else. I don't why, it is so easy to say fuck it and be in a self destructive place wallowing in self pity. It is comfortable, even though I feel like shit, it is an excuse to not try.
As far as I know, recession is not full blow yet, you can still find jobs if you looked around. Whatever you do try to stay productive, reach out to family members and friends.

>>50165167
You got 2 months rent and how much unemployment will you get?

>>50165167
>he didn't buy a house
That $50k you have in crypto could have gone to a permanent residence that increased 50-100% in value over the last two years.

kek was it faceberg or an exchange

>>50165167
>My rent is $1900 a month.
If you can't find another job within 2-3 weeks then you should move out of your city and find a rural place that is more affordable.

sorry to hear anon. obviously just hit the ground running trying to apply for other jobs - jobs that you think you could land. I'm not sure what line of work you are in but I'd keep doing the same sort of shit.

t. 30 year old

>>50165167
Biden did this.

>>50165167
good luck bro. 30 year old here and anticipating layoffs in the next year or so. If it gets really bad i'll probably move back in with my parents but they have a boomer american mindset and never wanted me living with them since i graduated college despite them being rich as shit. Sometimes I wish i get laid off sooner just to get it over with and have a nice long break after working for 8-years straight.

31 here. I desperately want to quit my job and take a break, even did the math with my savings and if I live conservatively I have enough for ~2 years. Being laid off would be a fucking dream come true for me.

We are not alone and the crazy amount of turnover throughout all industries prooves it. So many people are leaving left and right and "retiring" without anything lined up which creates staff shortages and more work for those who are still working.

Sign up for unemployment after your severance runs out. I didn't do it when I got fired and I burned through savings, big mistake.

>>50169839
Zoomers like the preach "mental health" but they absolutely have a point. The burnout is real bro.

>>50165639
>this is the rentcuck cope

>>50165167
Same thing happened to me, and it was the best thing to ever happen.
I ended up starting my own business and even though it's not the biggest or most profitable company, I still have my freedom and the ability to make my own destiny.

Why not try to start your own business, and if it doesn't work out, you can find another job.

>>50165235
This is a common misconception. The last layoff I experienced, it was all the lowest paid people who were cut.

>>50170234
He may mean the industry he is currently in is stable. I've been working in the energy utility industry as a software dev for a while, and while the pay isn't silicon valley tier, it's comfortable and I will simply never be laid off ever.

woulda been the same experience in this bearish market if i hadn't discovered how to better monetize my assets thankfully Artlink Network helps with that

>>50169943
>he’s paying rent to Biden
jej

you are loaded as fuck
fuck off mutts you have it so easy
also you can find another job in two weeks instead of bitching about MUH DAY DRINKING

>>50165235
I moved back in with my parents (moved back to the country and was traveling for work 90% of the time so I didn't need to waste money on rent). I would discourage this unless it's absolutely necessary or unless you're really self-motivated. It will kill your motivation and you'll become a shell.

Contract work like >>50165328 mentioned might not be bad if you can't find another job. You could work a couple contract jobs and probably make about the same (have to pay your own medical, etc. though).

>>50165167
At least you got laid anon

>investing in 401k when inevitably destined for evaporation in near future

I would empty that out and put it all on cryptos and and 1 or 2 companies you want to have a say in.

Also, literally every store I go is begging for employees. I bet white collar is more or less in the same condition. Just apply again, its not the end of the world.

this guy gets it. money you dont spend = money you make.

>Tfw Department of Defense engineer

One mans crash is another man's opportunity, no chance we lose our jobs with how "essential" defense is.

>>50168661
>if you can't find a job, break your lease and find a new apartment or house to rent with no job and no provable income, in a rural area where high paying jobs are much rarer, if not impossible to find
are you literally retarded?

>>50165167
Time for some FUNemployment, yo!

>>50171353
Are you gonna take the mandatory booster shots and monkepox jab?

>>50165167
>My rent is $1900 a month.

You are fucking retarded

Keep your head up and look into overemployment. You get to choose your own destiny, don’t let capitalists determine it for you. I got laid off a few weeks ago and I teeheed in the inside because I have a whole ass another full time job on the side. Already looking for my second job and will likely land something this month. Fake it till you make it bruh.
