| I have a bit more than that in FU money. Still I think it is worth checking for another job instead of stopping at all. Said that, despite working in a cool organizations, I think I might need sometime for myself.
Also said that, I have family, so I need to keep going because things are getting insanely expensive and my FU money which was suppose to be worth a decade, is not worth it about 5 years. The "6%" inflation is terrible because as we all noticed, nothing has increased only 6%. This is the case in the country I am from. It is like that since I was a kid, every 10 years everything got at least 5x more expensive, including buying a house and food. Now I moved somewhere else and the situation here is about the same. I used to spend 30 per week in groceries now I spend almost 60. Electricity bills went up about 80% when compared to previous year. The rent in the place I lived before raised about 30% but I ended up living somewhere closer to the office so it is even higher. In summary, I am not filling the FU pot as fast as I want and expenses are increasing much higher than I expect. All this situation of layoffs and etc make it worse.
At least I had a conversation some days ago with some friends that work more close to the guys with money and they are already preparing the pockets for hiring again. I have 2 buckets for my FU money
One is a reservation for serious emergencies that should remain untouched while I have other resources. Then I have my true FU bucket which I hold in an investment easy to get it back.
Unfortunately, I pay for liquidity with low ROI, but I feel safer this way so I consider it as taxes for my own sanity. |
