So what’s your plan if you still find nothing and your savings are depleted?
I’ve been laid off for a while now and am hitting the 2 month mark but I am fortunate to have planned somewhat ahead so I have a good amount of money + unemployment saved as well as the fact that my living expenses are already low. I know the general wisdom is to have 6 months saved but of course seeing that there are people who haven’t landed anything after 2 years, it’s pretty much just save whatever you can and just survive now.
I cant see it being sustainable in any way like sure some people have family or friends or they do gig work such as Uber but what about those people that have no one and don’t have a car? It’s like the path for them is just to be homeless and starve to death. It’s not like you’re safe either if you do land something because you could easily get laid off again within a month even. And I’ve already read stories of laid off/unemployed people offing themselves because they literally couldn’t land anything (or the process is just exhausting in general) and the bills were starting to creep up.
I worry about what the next few years will start to look like on many others wellbeing because it’s as if society is killing them.
