[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'm worried. [b]It's hard to figure out how to make a career pivot as a specialist in your 40s, but if all the feds in my field get laid off, the private job market will be gutted, overwhelmed, or both. My spouse only makes 65k in education, and we have kids,[/b] so we can't get by without my job long term. I have a project under review right now that could get me fired on its own (totally noncontroversial currently, but doesn't align with Project 2025). Thinking about boosting the emergency fund over the next few months, what I'll do if they make us sign loyalty pledges, and all that stuff. Planning keeps me out of despair but I'm not really sure how to plan for all of this. [/quote] Same here, almost exactly. I'm the high earner & my wife is a teacher only making $64k/year. I put feelers out with a few close friends who are in the private sector. I need to have a plan and not just wait around to see what the orange turd does. [/quote] that's president orange turd. why should high earners be supplemented by the govt, get a job in the free market. you are the real turd[/quote]
