When you have a job, try save an emergency fund.

In case you lose you job, you have options

The only thing about having a job nowadays is that you get to move around and make money. Dealing with rude random strangers, coworkers who are mentally stuck in high school and dumb ass managers and supervisors aren’t even worth it.

uhh its worse now

Dudes just wanna let they lips run

"Nuh uh! So what?"

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Why do ya'll post so gloomy all the time? And then its shyt that's already known.


At what point in life has anything ever been guaranteed? Especially for black men. Our Great grandfather's had much rougher lives with slavery, racism, and Jim crow.

Yeah you can lose your job, but you also need to look on the other side. Its also millionaires who lost it all, committed suicide, or OD on drugs.

Basically
no body is secure in their situation right now
I noticed a lot of salary and title/company/position bragging has basically disappeared off social media
Even if you make $250k somewhere right now, why talk about it knowing that shyt could flip next month

If you have a skill you can go abroad I suggest you pack yo sh!t & leave now before the sh!t hits the fan

Like someone else said we save a percentage of all incoming income for an emergency fund.

We can probably both go a full year without working and not miss a step due to this cushion.

In that time I’d start a business. If I were to get called for a job that was worth it, I’d take it and continue my business on the side as best I could.

Think of your income from your job as a means to maintain your basics and save for trouble. Trouble will ALWAYS happen. Always.

Moving overseas only works if your skill set is remote or easily transferable. My husband has a homeboy that was a mechanic now lives in Colombia working on American cars. People need their cars, air conditioning, plumbing, etc fixed everywhere.
