the world has come to an end, when you are living on paycheck to paycheck..
if you have some kind a emergency fund for rainy day + some faith & Confidence.. then the world is not falling..
two of my friends who got fried last year in financial meltdown, .. they choose the option of months long vacation, instead of joining college for Masters. Oh boy, they have a experience of life time + landed at the job when they came back, because markets recovered.
So have life and start planning, for starters - An emergency fund for 6 months of expense.
.... and how does it feel?
well depends, how much you are prepared, lets say if i got fire today - God willing it will not effect my living style for a year .. so i am happy & safe :)
Well…never been fired…so have no idea how I would feel…but I know i will be mad as hell if some1 fired me
But normally I do not stress about my career and money too much (not that I have too much money), but I dnt think its worth stressing over…you dnt have any control over destiny…so I jst take it as it comes…
