So I was recently laid off. Wondering if I should keep investing into the market (dca into blue chip crypto + index funds) or if I should just stop since I don’t have recurring income anymore. For more context: I live at home and i have a decent amount in savings. I just would feel more comfy if I had $ coming in, especially given $ invested in the market now is losing value in the short term. But also worried I’m missing out on DCA and building long term wealth through investing. Thoughts??

If I had no income, I'd be building up a cash reserve emergency fund. Investing that money would be irresponsible. Not sure how much you have.

Crypto, I would stop. Wait to see if Celsius gets liquidated first. We'll go to 18k and probably below.

Index funds are fine for any extra cash you have.

Do you have a solid emergency fund? I would see what you have and decide if you want to put more there first.
