Draw salary as long as you can, save as much as possible and buy land outright somewhere cheap. No mortgage. I saw where it was all headed back in the early 2000s. I was in my mid 30s and feeling the grind back then.
Rent? Fuck that. Your life is on the line and this is for all the marbles. You find a way to go rent free. Maybe do like the bums are doing all over the place, live in a van, etc. Nobody seems to care. Save that money and then get out.
I did this, ending my career in IT back in 2006. Best move ever. When they fired everyone on the last contract I was on, I can't tell how good it felt.
By the way, the house I lived in at the end... Remember the house in Fight Club? That would have been an improvement.
- thaway_thaway34 3y agoThat's what I am thinking of doing if things go for worse. I am planning to do in 4-5 years time. I already have enough to buy a small house in the country side back in my home country. I could be building my own projects for fun. I think you nailed it. My current fear arises from the fact, I am at one of the highest HCOL cities in the world in comparison to wages. This makes the fear more imminent, as I basically would have to move if my salary goes significantly lower. That wouldn't be the case where I am originally from, in Scandinavia.
