Just curious to get some feedback here. My wife and I have a combined income of about $200k before taxes and have one child with another due in the Fall. Up until this year we’ve maintained decent savings but as of Jan 2025 we’ve really begun to feel a squeeze on our financials. We’ll be fine I think as I have a decent stack of physical silver (and by eliminating non-essential spending we’ll recoup some monthly funds) but I genuinely hope we’ll be feeling some relief soon.
How is everyone else here doing? After paying in $6k in taxes this month I’m really hoping for an end to the IRS soon :/
Still unable to find a job sadly. Not homeless (yet) but man it feels like I'm teetering on the edge.
Praying
Curious, are you finding it difficult to find a job in your career field? or is it basically the entire job market in your area?
When I went to college for a degree in network infrastructure / IT, we were all told it would have great job security.
So much for that job security.
I've been applying everywhere, and I'm lucky to even get a rejection letter at this rate.
I'm sorry.
The barriers to entry in IT are extremely low.
H1B flooding doesn't help. Paging Musk et al.
If you are willing to move to Alaska, state govt is always hiring.
Depending on city, security officer jobs pay relatively well and lots of OT. Also the duties are pretty light on nightshift. you can actually do something online that earns you money at the same time. Better than ending up homeless...
