    On the one hand, I have about $1400 saved

    On the other hand, I got fired yesterday…

    So uh… Yay?

    My parents have no savings at all and my mother got fired from her job 2 weeks ago, they’re both a few years from retirement age but definitely won’t be able to.

    It’s been a fun year.

      I’m sorry to hear that. Getting let go is always hard. Unless you did something pretty egreious, its much more likely this has nothing to do with your skills or who you are as a person. Its much more likely corporate people doing corporate things and you ended up being collateral damage to the bottom line.
