PrettyBlackDressIf You Were Unemployed, But Had A Hefty Savings Of 10K, In What Ways Would You Approach Your Job Search Differently?
OrbituaryWhat everyone in this comment section calling out “10k isn’t much” are failing to understand is that over 60% of the USA live paycheck to paycheck and don’t have any savings to speak of. Extend that to the world and you would go pale.
Check your privilege and get educated.
More than 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Here's what researchers say is to blame.
Even 4 in 10 high-income households earning more than $100,000 are living paycheck to paycheck, a new study finds.
Yea seriously thank you. I’m like mind blown that ppl don’t think that’s a lot of money. 10K would last me almost 2 years not working. I’m single, no dependents, my rent is cheap and I own my car. What’s the deal here man? Why’s everyone pissing on 10k as chump change? That’s a lot of money man
NollijI don’t buy it. Not in the US, at least. Even if that was exclusively spent on rent alone, that would put it at $417/month. The only way you’re doing that is if you own (at least bought before the real estate spikes since ~2017) or you have a personal relationship with the landlord and are getting well below market rates. Or if you live in a van down by the river.
And that’s even before things like food, insurance, etc.
