My husband and I found the PERFECT house, in the best location, in our price range that actually had a price reduction AND has been on the market for over 2 weeks. We want to go to an open house tomorrow after work, but I genuinely fear for my job security as they go through layoffs every few months. My confidence is crushed due to being laid off my dream job in 2021, and I feel like everyone is expendable.
So I feel like worst case scenario is I lose my job, and use the rest of my savings to pay the rest of our rent, and then we can live in our car or live in a tiny apartment in an unsafe part of town.
The American dream is dead. I know we all know this, but I just wanted to reiterate.
