I just lost my job. My whole department was laid off. We got a nice severence package (5 months).
I should be stressed, but I am not. Some how I actually think I might come out ahead. In fact I am loving my free time. I guess I will need to find a job before my company quits matching my 401k in October.
Yesterday I was thinking, you know I could probably avoid working for a year, but then I would miss my savings goals.
I feel bad for my friend/co-worker. He is in debt up to his eye balls. I think the stress might honestly kill him. He has an ARM, and still isn't making it. I sat down with him yesterday and told him to sell his house, and buy a cheap condo. (and swallow his pride if necissary).
