1000%. I find myself wishing for the days I was making $180k and feeling like I was on top of the world. The anxiety is killing me every waking moment.

In a practical sense that is true. My spouse doesn’t work. I have an expensive mortgage. Two lease payments. Three kids that’s are in expensive activities. If I lost my income we would be screwed. When I was a single guy I actually did lose my job for while in 2008 and I was able to get by on unemployment of I think $350 a week. That wouldn’t make a dent in my expenses now.

In addition to being worried about losing your job, it’s a crappy feeling that no matter how bad things got at work you couldn’t leave.

That said, once you have some savings it gets easier. If I did lose my job now while I would be hurting my retirement savings it’s not like my house would foreclose after a couple months.

Im going through this right now. Single family income. Family of 5. I am not over leveraged or have crazy expenses. In fact I try to be more conservative because I’m always scared.

Right now Im on a downward path at my firm and most likely will leave end of Oct. I’m freaking out because I’ve been looking for work for a few months and no bites

I think being paranoid made people more successful too. I read the book *Only the Paranoid Survive*. The author argued that businesses which are 'paranoid' are the ones that stay on top of the market. I think this concept is also applicable to careers; only the paranoids stay competitive. Those who don't have to worry about anything often just go with the flow. While I'm not saying paranoia is healthy, being scared of something can push people to excel.
