27; savings account is always close to $0 (hover between $1-7k). I consistently put all my money into rental investments starting when I was 23. Buy and fix up homes takes a lot of money, but my net from appreciation and added value is $300k and counting)

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?
