I quit my job last year because I finally made it. I put most of the funds into index funds to try and go by the 4% rule. Now, my portfolio is obliterated and I'm spending too much in comparison. I really thought the ETH merge would pump crypto more too and now that looks to be a dud.

I tried applying for jobs last month but with an employment gap now, even jobs with the same job title as I previously held won't call me back. I'm absolutely fucked. How is everyone else dealing?

All the models said recessions don't happen within 2 years of each other on average. I'm just absolutely stunned and honestly feel this must be a simulation at this point. Nearly everything I'm involved in right now is fucking me in the ass.

Not really. My models that were back tested since the 50's all pointed to about a 12% chance of drawdown from all previous recession data. It was extremely unlikely based on history, but alas, I guess this time really was different.

I do find it fucked how a pseudo-government bank can decide if families can work to put food on the table. By creating a recession, they are literally throwing working families on the streets. The older I get, the more I understand how Jackson and Jefferson were right about central banks. They are evil in the very definition of the word and represent how the "means justify the ends" is morally incorrect.

What do we do? Lie on the resume to find a job? I don't even know if I can wageslave anymore after being so fucking redpilled from making it and tasting freedom.

I really think hell is a new torture everyday, or else the pain would eventually get tiresome. This type of torture really does take the fucking cake.
