I ama tech bro, living in midwest. Was working remote for $150k/yr.
I have $40k cash
$40k in 401k
$30k in 529 plan (2 kids)
Wife doesn't work
2 houses completely paid off total value about $500k. One is a rental but tenants moved out and I have to fix it up.
I have been searching for 2 weeks and can't even get an interview.
Should I be worried? How bad could it get bros? I've never gone this long without a job. I am considering kms.

It's like saving for retirement. Social secrutiy is absolute shit. For example people get like $750/mo to live on. That is basically not even enough to afford a 1bd/1ba in a major city.

retirements accounts are only taxed once
personal investments are, at best, taxed twice
retirement accounts are also shielded from being seized from creditors

Sell one of your houses as is. You boomers don't need multiple houses to survive, contrary to your generation's popular belief.

Relax your winning fag. Raping silicon valley for 150k while your living expenses are probably 500 bucks/month. Of course you can have two houses paid for, because they're likely 150k/ each.

I hate it when kikes here to come and try and demoralize tech bro's that have been laid off with their gay faggot LARPS.

Be me, live in bay area, 42, made 200k + last 5 years and still can't buy a house.
