In your experience, do layoffs come in 3’s? When an org starts eliminating positions, is this a sign that more of the same is to come?

I don't know about coming in 3s, but I've seen examples where layoffs come in waves. I think what can happen is there's sort of a psychological barrier that gets crossed when they first lay people off. Once that ice is broken it can become easier for the management to keep looking to cut costs and let people go.

I wonder what kind of severance package one gets after being laid off….

Sometimes companies do eliminate people as reorganizations or layoffs that they otherwise want to remove but can't justify firing. I've also seen cases where a role was terminated but replaced with someone else. I'd be on the lookout because these are never good signs long term.

I don't think I have ever seen them come in threes honestly. It really just depends on the company. Sometimes there is more to follow and sometimes there isn't.

Once they start laying off, update your resume and start job hunting. If there is a cash flow problem, eventually they'll cut your job. It's better to already have skillets in the fire ahead of time. Some employers offer a severance based upon the length of your tenure; some offer nothing. They're not legally obligated to provide a severance, and if the layoff is because they're in a cash flow problem, they lack liquidity to give you one.

Feeling grateful & proud as I reached my goal ($50K by 25) 5 months early. But I can’t help feeling a bit overwhelmed. In the lifelong scheme of things, $50K doesn’t seem like much. I worked really hard and sacrificed a lot (including mental health) to get to this but it seems a little tiring knowing I still have so long to go. I recently moved out and in with my BF so my expenses are split, but nonetheless they are still expenses. Any tips on continuing this journey and keeping the drive?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

What’s the general guidance on the order to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits for an normal individual and for a self employed/small business owner before moving to taxable accounts or alternate vehicles like cash value life policies?
I’ve seen for individual: match trad 401k->match roth 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max trad 401k->max roth 401k->max HSA
For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA

Of course situations differ but in general?
