I did get fired last year from my tech company because I refused the jab. Although I got the religious exemption at the very last moment, the management already planned on firing me. They came up with some other excuse, gave me a performance warning and 3 months later fired me when I didn't accept their terms. Since then, I lost my appetite to work. Just filling out online surveys and making few bucks here and there. I have no interest in fueling the petro-dollar based economy that most of my hard earned money ends up with BlackRocks anyway. Good thing is I don't have to pay taxes this year, since I wasn't employed! Less dollars for the warmongers.
I told my family I was ready to work in restaurants busing dishes and pound some nails. Last thing I wanted to do but if push comes to shove, I will.
Took a loan out of my 401K so less for BlackRock. There isn't much there anyway but the less they got the better. Go buy a vehicle because we have been operating on a one vehicle for a long while now and quite inconvenient.
I converted all my 401k investments from stocks into precious metals. I don't trust stock market, it could collapse any moment. I hear any asset is better than fiat dollar. Vehicle, house, real estate, metals.
Oh, I didn't take out any. I just converted the assets - meaning precious metals are managed by a retirement custodian. You're right, taking anything out before retirement results in 30% penalty.

If you are in tech, do you know about Upwork? Freelance.
Yeah, I signed up on upwork, yet to finish the resume. Might finish it sometime next year. Freelance, gig works, etc.
Good.

I have very little in there and took out half because if I take everything, I pay hefty penalty.
Hence the reason take out half to buy a car. :)
