Whatever, I'm in Canada and decided to cut down all costs. Fully expecting a recession as well as a depression.
We thought about getting a new car, but not going to do that until in a few years when car sellers are begging me to take one. Right now they are so arrogant that they charge high rates and popular cars takes months to deliver. I'm gonna sit for another 3-4 years.
Also decided to remove all travel plans from the near future. Purchases higher than $100 are going to require a stamp from the financial department ($wifie). All purchases re-directed to local second hand market as mu as possible. Thought about buying a MacBook for RE but to hell with it. No new phones, no nothing until something breaks and evaluated by the financial department to be "essential".
Fuck it. I just got a small raise and bonus but feel so insecure. I expect to lose job at any moment.

- markus_zhang 2y agoYeah, that's the uncertainty we all have to face. I hope they find some local jobs at least. I don't even know what I can do if I can't find an IT job. I don't have any other skills.
- senordevnyc 2y agoI feel similarly, and I actually just got laid off last week. However, I don’t think tariffs are going to result in no more IT jobs, I’m sure there will be jobs available, they might just not pay as much as they have.
- markus_zhang 2y agoI wish you good luck. Man I don't know what I can do. I can't Uber because I only have one car. I can't onlyfan because I'm not a nude female. I can't twitch because there are already millions out there. I don't know what I can do. Seriously.
- senordevnyc 2y agoYou haven’t lost your job yet, right? If you do, or you already have, then you’ll look for another job, or start working for yourself. You’ll be OK.
