[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also the most annoying thing is when people are like ‘DoorDash! Uber!’

Many people were making mid to six figures when they got laid off. Many do have a nest egg but at some point it will run out so they are looking hard. Doesn’t make doordashing or  dog walking a good use of a former lawyer’s time [/quote]
Well, have them use their head then. I worked for low wage my whole life. It was a challenge at times to pay all the bills, but I made it. 
I have every penny I ever made and then some. Being the master of your money is available to everyone. The new investment banks and the apps have made managing money and personal finance piece of cake.
But also, you don't see me turning down Doordashing, dog-walking, or waiting on tables. You also don't see me out of work, panicking, or NOT getting calls from former employers monthly.
I can downgrade my life by June and have two jobs by tomorrow. Flexibility is a super power, but so are mental and physical health. Use them to your advantage as long as you still have them.
