Quitting jobs

Everyone has a job they don’t like and whenever someone complains about the job that they do, there’s always are going to be handfuls of people saying “QUIT UR JOB!” not really caring about whether it’ll benefit the complainer or not.

Quitting a job cold is one of the dumbest things you can do when you do not have any safety nets. No savings. No jobs lined up. Nothing planned. You are putting yourself back to a place of uncertainty and it’s not pleasant when that countdown starts. That countdown is tied to how much you have left to cover your expenses fully until you get another job and how long those expenses will pile up.

Because all it takes is one or two missed paychecks to upset your financial stability and the system you’ve made in how you pay for things.

For some people, unfortunately, quitting jobs is not as simple of an option. People are just jammed into where they are because their job market is poor or it’s highly competitive even when they went to college for that job.

    If you receive letters demanding payments… just don’t open them, they will sort themselves out.

      I mean it’s always worked for me. Debt can be easily ignored in the United States, and I’ve gotten by just fine without ever opening a line of credit. I always pay cash for everything, including vehicles, and we used the girlfriend’s credit to get a house so it’s all turkey and gravy. Even then I could always just rent through private landlords like I always have.
