I always assume my job is going away tomorrow. That's why I lived as frugally as possible and saved up $120k cash. That way I can survive for at least 3 years without a job on just my savings without moving back in with my parents. I still rent a room for $1k a month all expenses included because not having a mortgage means I can move wherever I need to, whenever I need to, and I don't have to worry about owing some bank 100s of thousands of dollars while I'm unemployed.

You've got it down. I took a less sexy job out of college (working for a state agency). I saved for years - put everything in a low cost total stock market fund. Now I'm on the path to early retirement and any job I hate I can leave thanks to having moved to a market where skills like mine are in high demand.

The CEO of my company promised there would be no layoffs at an all hands meeting. 3 months later, there were layoffs. After the layoffs the VP of our division held a debrief to discuss the aftermath. When asked why there was a layoff when the CEO promised there wouldn’t be one, he said “if someone promises you there won’t be layoffs, don’t believe them.” And he’s right of course. I was just surprised to hear him say it out loud. There will always be layoffs.

this video is very accurate and I've seen it play out for 30 years now. Very sad. The best option for most that I can think of, is either an actual shop selling and diversifying in something, or more than one professional expertises and have more than one remote contracts. And I mean professional as in valued educated expertise. Maybe use one for the stable job with the pension and insurance and the other to supplement the income you lose annually because your wages don't increase as fast as inflation. BTW other economies think this is the American system and they are so better off but in reality this is coming for them too, they are just behind in the financial development. It's the shrinking of the middle class causing it, IMHO

Sage advice. I have spent four years building up a side gig and its about to become profitable. I am working two jobs and I feel like I am on a hamster wheel. I hope that I am able to quit one of my jobs and work on my side gig. That side gig, if it works the way I want it to, will create multiple passive income streams. I have learned the hard way how a replaceable a hard working driven employee can be. All companies seem to care about is making sure those at the top can afford another yacht at the expense of the people doing the real work.

A Swedish man (I think) claimed that he was a high school teacher and a socialist. He told me that he objected to mandatory accounting in schools on the grounds that "the math would make capitalism seem logical to the students." A Libertarian (male I presume) said that he objected on the grounds that "nothing should be mandatory." I have been suggesting this for some time and fail to comprehend any serious objections. In fact another Internet Entity who claimed to be an accountant said he did not mind so long as it was not done until after he retired in 6 years.(I'm not sure how long ago this was. More than 3 years) If you search Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, which is free on the Internet, for "read, write" you will find every instance is followed by "and account". Smith used the word 'education' Eighty Times but consumers did not buy air conditioners and microwave ovens before 1790. Those things wear out and Smith did not say much about depreciation. Karl Marx used the word 'depreciation' 35 times in the first two volumes of his major work. Marx knew about railroads while Smith did not, but there were still no microwave ovens. The concept of GNP/GDP was developed in the late 1930s. For some reason Marx did not get the memo. A derived concept which gets little mention is NNP/NDP where Net replaces Gross. Just subtract Depreciation from Gross. Of course there is a hitch. That Depreciation only applies to Capital Goods, like industrial robots and 18-wheel trucks. The air conditioners and microwave ovens purchased by consumers have their depreciation ignored. The economists do not point out these details. How do you suppose planned obsolescence factors into that? When television began its wonderful job of brainwashing Baby Boomers there were only 2.5 billion people on the planet. The spaceship is more crowded now. Do you suppose mandatory accounting/finance might be a good idea? All over the world?

Honestly seeing the scale and severity of the problem I think that it might be time for legislation to step in to prevent people from getting to the brink financially. the gigification of the economy and profit hoarding are ultimately the cause of the worker's hardships and will continue to be. Of course people will work to adapt to the times to keep food on the table and these tips are very helpful for that! But as more "inflation" prices are being proven to be "greedflation" prices, I can't help but think that fewer and fewer people will be able to keep up. System solution needed in addition to individual grit

I'll be honest, moving temporarily and potentially fully to another country for currency arbitration is not a bad move at all provided you can work remotely. Also speaking of working remotely, that being the true way out if you ever want to reclaim your time back. Certifications help to get you back to making much more potentially but it's more important to stay abreast to what you can do immediately with what you already know to make more specifically with the goal of investing into passive income. As you get older it's really really important to remember to look for those tiny hinges that open really big doors as you ain't getting younger for damn sure.

That's what I try to tell people when they question how I can afford to travel after a layoff. 😀 Almost everywhere is LCOL compared to NYC, so subletting my place and moving my daily expenses to somewhere cheaper actually works out better in the long run (and the longer you stay, the quicker you pay off the initial flight which is really the only big investment) And +1 for remote work! Makes it much easier to leverage hours for $$ when you're not chained to a certain amount of time in an office.

I am able to get in, work on a project, and get out. Yet I notice that it allows me to increase my skills as well as opens me up to increased pay vs waiting for annual raises with a salaried position. I worked a salary role for 7 years and those annual raises did not beat the cost of inflation. So I plan to continue contract work, work multiple contracts at a time if feasible, and save whatever money I can!

I'm 35 with what seems to be undiagnosed inattentive type ADHD; 100's of browser tabs open, can't be consistent with anything, never following through with my plans. Early on I think I had the deck somewhat stacked against me, volatility early childhood, bad schools, people with low to no education and carrying generational trauma, and a lot of neglect. Didn't think it was outside the norm till my mid to late 20's, when I started noticing I've atrophied, lagged behind in terms of starting a family, maintaining long and fruitful relationships. There's a lot of guilt and shame everyday that people will find out I'm a recluse and slowly seem to be getting worse even with what seems like consistent therapy and workout routine, perhaps they are distractions. But I'm feeling really lost, and burnt out of the 9-5 and worried that because of my consistent brain fog and lack of motivation and top of that severe social anxiety that I might find myself in a worse place. I'm not really capable of asking for help because of the shame and anxiety.

Your message is 30 years too late. Companies stopped carrying someone just because the guy has been there long time ago. Also, in many states, such as the South, there has always been hire at will.

in the adaptability section of this video, men already caught on to that, that's why not as many of us are in college and talk that career nonsense, and more of us try to figure out other ways of doing things such as building things and growing food, because from the time we're little we see everyone following society's plan of sacrificing time, health, and happiness for a few extra dollars, and always coming up short🤔, and i'm glad that miss independent is starting to catch on👌👍

Capitalism doesn't suck, it's called cronyism and boomers are by far the worst generation of corrupt cronies that siezed every facet of our economy, including generational wealth.

@charliedallachie3539 7 ай бұрын

Yep, things seemed to be a lot better even just 20 years ago but it’s always been a capitalist system. Today’s issues are due to more corrupt corporatism than capitalism. The market used to be more employee friendly too.

Still a capitalism problem. The iron law of oligarchy rears its ugly head in late stage capitalism. Trying to perpetually create a state if early stage capitalism is unbelievably difficult I just don't see how social democracy is going to achieve this perpetually. Not knocking everything that got us to our current point but time to think ourside the box and look for new solutions to a changing world and leave capitalism behind us. Granted i say that hope we don't trade it in for feudalism as capitalism is an upgrade for sure but we are not at the end of history.

@@Tycon wish I was more knowledgeable but from what Ive heard, a lot of deregulation has happened in the 80s, …I think more regulations (like against fake job postings) and more workers rights are needed….among others things. No economic system is perfect in this world, each has its strengths and weaknesses.

You have no job stability unless you get a union job or a government job, and even then if a new legislature or administrator comes in and decides to cut funding for your job you can be furloughed. Still, the few jobs left with a pension in this country are pretty much union job and government jobs (though the base salary is usually lower than the private sector in professional services positions).

I'm curious which industry you're in? A lot of my friends are non-tech but still white-collar office jobs (project managers, sales, recruiting, finance, marketing, etc.). There's certainly lots of traditionally educated fields that are still stable at the moment (healthcare, law) but I do wonder how long that will lasts with AI only getting more sophisticated!

Hi, great video 😊. I am curious to know what sort of advice you would give to people who want to become an entrepreneur or freelancer, or go off on their own, but need health insurance what do you do or what have you seen others do in this case

@WesleyAnna 8 ай бұрын

Oof insurance in the US is the biggest pain in the a** T_T if you're married (or lucky enough to still be a dependent) then joining someone's plan is the best route. If not, you can always get marketplace insurance! it's more money for less service, but you'll still be covered.

You do not know how horrible a union is until you have been in one, or have worked in management that deals with unions. You see your precious mandatory tax? Yep, consider its utilization for government salaries to be about half that of what you’d normally expect. That’s right. Whatever you think is fair, cut it by another half and you get what government salaries pay for. People work for less, and you have to pay for it. This is a way for you to be on the other side of the employee employer divide in a sense.

The Third Industrial Revolution. The end of middle class. A lot of people will get left behind. Millionaire is becoming the new middle class. You won't get there by working a job. You have to use your voice, skill, talent & mindset to make millions. Everyone can't do that. Most people can't. That's why there are so few celebrities, successful businessowners & content creators because most people don't have the IT factor. The good news is you don't have to be born with the IT factor. You can create the IT factor, but again few people have it or can create it. That's why there is one that can lead many, but it is never the opposite. Scary times ahead.
