[QUOTE="Hacker News, post: 74663, member: 365"] The recent layoffs have heightened my my feeling of insecurity and anxiety. Company I work for had a massive layoff and it’s the first I’ve ever experienced. I wasn’t impacted but can’t shake this feeling of insecurity. I’m expecting a second kid and my wife isn’t working and I feel like I need to diversify my income but have never been entrepreneurial and don’t know where to start. I have more than a couple years worth of savings. But this is partly due to not owning a house. Where I live the downpayment would consume most of those savings. Ny wife wouldn’t be able to make high skilled wages unless she invested substantial time into upskilling which she doesn’t have at the moment. How do I shake this feeling? Is there something I should be doing to protect myself besides what I’ve already ?
