  • 1 day. Got hired as a host for a restaurant. Did one training shift and then got violently ill. I called out the next day. It was also around the holidays and I was planning to go home to visit family. I told them I wouldn’t be available for a week or so. They never scheduled me again and didn’t pay me for the training shift. They also never even shared a salary with me until I called and demanded that they tell me the pay. Ultimately, dodged a bullet. I was looking for a real job with a salary and this was just going to hold me over. Ended up landing something that paid way more a few weeks later.

    Haven’t sold the 401k, will just hold through it. In my brokerage account, I was up and had been DCAing. I lost about 1/3rd of my profits before I sold it all a few weeks ago. I’m still up overall, and was holding lots of cash in the last several years anyway because I thought we were due for a big downturn. At this rate, though, I’m not really looking to buy the dip. I’m instead planning to move my money abroad and, if I can, find a better place to live than the US.
