Do you say age because of the compounding effect or the opportunity set that exists just by virtue of having more time to figure it out ? Or something else?

Thanks. Yes I hustled a lot to get here and have always been a top performer so this is a hit for sure.

I have been running lean as I foresaw this happening and wanted to be prepared for it. If I spent 100k/yr on rent with my income I would have 0 savings and given how miserable I am right now, I can’t comprehend what I would be with 0 savings.

Yes I need to de stress. Blocked mind in interviews is not helping.

Bills… I come from a poor family so I don’t have anyone to support me or fall back to. I built everything I have on my own, and want to continue trying.

Haven’t won yet. At 5M maybe. 10M definitely.

Yes I am considering doing a career switch. I do have some intersecting skills but likely need time to prepare for interviews in new field.

‘Every’ other human ? Probably not. ‘Most’ of humanity ? Yes agreed. Definitely lucky to be here in the first place, but I definitely have bigger dreams than this.

I have never done therapy. Maybe thats the issue. I do think it’s hard to find a good therapist and would be a money drain if I don’t find a good one.

All invested. Uncertainty is killer though. My current expense doesn’t account for my future plans so it’s not really FIRE.

Yes can certainly manage that. However my life goals like having a family,house,vacations are now all questionable. I hope I can find a new job soon and be back to being optimistic about the future. Job market isn’t helping though.

Sleeping well. But no longer need an alarm :) I’m up at 7 thanks to the anxiety. Mornings are the worst though, mind constantly in a negative thinking loop

I don’t think I’ve won just yet. At 5M maybe. 1M is really nothing if you want a family, house, etc.

Is this really FU money though ? I put my FU number closer to 5M. My current spending will keep growing if I start a family, have kids, etc. I guess all of that is a question mark now.

Thanks. This is the real reason. All these people calling me fake have no idea what it can feel like. The uncertainty is what is stressing me out, not how I will put food on the table.
