I am sorry to hear this. I completely understand your stress. I was in the exact situation back in 2001 during the dot-com bust, and had to move to my spouse’s dependent visa for 6 months. It was a very tough time and luckily, it all worked out in the end. A lot of people have been in (and are going through) your situation, but I know that is cold comfort. In hindsight, this experience initiated a lot of good changes in my life: --It showed us that we (spouse and I) are a strong unit. We are more resilient than we thought, and don’t need a lot of material things to keep us happy and together. That realization was extremely powerful. --I kickstarted my financial planning into high gear. We boosted our savings rate, planned for kids’ tuitions, paid off the mortgage early, etc. Since then, we always have 1 year’s worth of living expenses saved, in case both of us lost our jobs. All of that helped in taking our net worth to the top few %. I would highly recommend reading “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius. There are other good books on stoic philosophy as well.
