My friend’s company just laid off about 6 people including her boss. She is scared that she will be next in line. The uncertainty of the job market is uneasy during this time and people are questioning the loyalty that they give to their employers. How do you navigate the stress of possibly being laid off and do you have a back up plan?

It is very scary out there. I have been at my job for a while and would like a change, however I'm scared because I'm hoping my seniority keeps me from being laid off at least!

Yea, it’s very scary out here. I would hold off trying to find a new job. Even though I’ve been applying to job lately.. I know it’s best not to leave my company during these times. We can only hope for the best.

Looking to get an Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti sometime this year. Brand new the MSRP is about 45K and despite the reputation of the old Alfa Romeo’s from the 90’s these seem to be night and day more reliable. Would you recommend buying new, leasing new, or buying used? If I bought used it would be anywhere from 2019-2021

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years. We have $300k in non-retirement funds, $260k of which will go towards acquiring the house. We have 2 kids and will probably reduce (not maxing) retirement accounts next 18 months to do this. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.
