I just quit my job a few weeks ago. I saved enough money to go on a break for a few months. I have roommates, no kids, and I take public transportation to avoid car payments and the like. I budget and everything but this stuff seems hopeless. I've been racking my brain the last few years to make things break reasonably and it seems the only thing I could come up with, which is cut costs and save / invest, still seems pretty bleek.
Yes I have some money to tied me over until I find something else, and the break has been wonderful from working overtime on and off for a year and a half but…
When does the cycle end?
I can only imagine how hard it is with people that have mortgages, car payments, a lot of bills, children, etc.
So, has anyone found a solution? What we can do individually OR as a whole? Because if we let it keep going on the tension is going to bust pipes at some point. Deep down we all know this
Ideas?
