Layoffs

Just listed my house because i can’t hang on anymore

I paid my bills, worked hard, kept my head down. Never took breaks, barely had employment gaps, and saved when i could. but since 2022, It's been nonstop layoffs, rto chaos, and policy changes destroying whole sectors. Tech went down. National labs slashed jobs. and me? I've been unemployed for 28 of the last 42 months.


I’ve tried so hard to hold onto my house. It’s everything i wanted built it up over a decade. Now it's listed below market just so i don't default. I don’t know what hurts more: losing it or feeling like all the work i put in meant nothing.
