Hi everyone,
I’m(27M) feeling completely devastated right now, and I really don’t know where to turn. I recently had another job offer rescinded, and I feel like I’ve hit rock bottom.
I’ve been unemployed since December, and while I’ve been actively looking for work, the emotional toll is just so much to handle. I’ve been crying, and honestly, I feel ashamed of where I am right now.
I’ve started receiving $2,300 in unemployment benefits, which is a huge relief, but the uncertainty and constant stress still weigh on me.
Here’s a bit about where I’m at:
I have $164K in total assets.
I’ve invested $45K in a HYSA for liquidity,
About $101K in Treasury bonds for security
About $17K in stocks (Robinhood) for growth potential, though the market has been tough lately.
I also have $3K in gold.
My monthly expenses are around $2,100, and while unemployment helps, I’m still struggling to keep my head above water with everything else going on.
I don’t know what I’ll do next. Appreciate some reassurance or guidance on my finances
