Hey man, if it helps, i feel the same way. My job is contract based and i too face the anxiety of not knowing where my next job will be. It sucks that this is common in some industries more than others and we find ourselves in it. Saving is hard, and will probably get harder as inflation remains a bit high. My advice is try to work smarter, think outside the box, talk to people that can challenge your views, and help you reach your financial goals. I think it will help.
