Laid off, kinda bummed out.

Late 30s, married with a kid, 1.5M in retirement/brokerage accounts and 500k home equity. Just got laid off from a 160-200k job in a MCOL area. Last time this happened I had a new job in 7 weeks, so I’m not overly worried at the moment. Really hoping I can remain remote instead of relocating yet again in my career. Really bummed out though, I only needed another 7 years to hit my fire number. Was hoping to coast it out. If I severely cut expenses I know I could retire now, but that’s not the life I want to live. Also, goddam insurance is expensive! $2300 a month without the employer contribution. That’s 40% of what my usual monthly expenses are!

Part of me wants to take a year off. My wife would lose her mind, me being out of work is really stressful for her. The other part of me wants to hurry up and finish my career and savings so that I can truly retire without the threat of returning to work looming over my head. I hate feeling like I’m not in control.

EDIT: really appreciate the support guys. Sometimes life gives ya lemons. But so far my life has mostly been pretty great and this too will be a blip in history soon enough. Also, Fuck lemons. And fuck cancer.
