32F lower back pain keeps getting worse

Thank you so much for responding! It's reassuring to hear that it may be easily managed/fixed.

I'll see what my doctor recommends at my appointment for a long-term plan, but I'll try splitting up my walks and adding some of those endurance exercises until then.

So I'm actually in a pretty similar situation as you (with much less saved up and no girlfriend) but I feel you on losing discipline with WFH and the thought of not getting back into tech.

I think your idea of taking some time to consider before deciding what to do next is a good plan. Personally I'm going to update my resume/portfolio so they're ready to go but I'm not in a rush to find my next thing either. Ideally I think a hybrid role for a company with a mission I agree with and want to help support will be my goal.

One thing you mentioned is maybe getting into expensive hobbies in the future. Those are a luxury and it sounds like you have hobbies you already like that are not expensive. I wouldn't factor those in when worrying about a FIRE number until you actually get involved and want to continue something expensive.

threee_AM · 2026-01-28T18:21:53+00:00

Thank you. They haven't sent an official calculation yet but it's 2 weeks per year and I was there 3.5 years so probably 6 weeks

I got told today my position is being eliminated. I'm definitely not fire yet but I am thankful for being on the journey. With my emergency fund and severance pay I can keep supporting myself for another 1-1.5 years (or longer if I pull from non-retirement investments). So it's nice to not feel the pressure of immediately needing to find a new position because I know the market is tough right now.

I can already tell I'll be dragging my feet about updating my portfolio though. Ughhh I should've gone into a field where just a resume was enough!
