Thanks for the words of support and encouragement guys.
Right now I'm not sure what next looks like. Anne and I are talking about it, praying about it, and being open to what God puts on our hearts.
I finally understand why Dave Ramsey calls his program Financial Peace. I got it in theory before, but right now, it actually makes sense. Being debt free and having an emergency fund are game changers.
Work has offered 30 days of outplacement service from a reputable company. I'll take advantage of that offer, but I want to defer the timing a bit if I can. For the next month or so I want to focus on the 7 and a few simple projects around the house. The additional time also gives the world more chance to see what normal is going to look like. I am having a call with HR on Monday and we'll see if I can hold off on activating the service.
I also plan to re-activate a couple of side hustles from a while back. I used to make a good bit of spare change buying and selling stuff on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace.
I may let go of some of my horde that is supposed to be the next 7 project. I probably have between 2 and 3k in bits and bobs I can part with.
Today I'm going to finish my coffee, shop for an external hide drive to back up my computer, then mosey out to the garage.
