I know a few firefighters but their municipal job and essential status means many of them aren't freaking out

funny

This made me chuckle

Lol hahah

I'm semi-FIRE. Left my job couple of months ago but spouse still works. Not freaking out at all. In fact pumped ~$10k into markets this past month and will continue to do so as it drops.

Not freaking out. I followed this virus back in Jan. Cashed out my porfolio last month, bought on a spree last week and cashed out again today.

Lol, pure gambling

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me.

I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?
