I'm sorry you lost your job, but you made 8k a month.
I have an emergency fund, I can survive off of it for 6 months without work.(eating steak, salmon, whatever I want)
I make far less than 8k a month, I'm still in my 20's and I manage money better than you.
I had this long essay pretty much wrote out, but all writing it did is make me annoyed.
If someone makes 8k a month and doesn't plan for the 'what if'.
Then they are no better than the professional athletes who wasted millions and now have to flip burgers.
Zero sympathy.
