Don’t make Grapevine the next LinkedIn!

I see people here showing of their networth more than often. The stocks they have, the salary they draw and with their very little experience and young age. Please let’s not make it another bragging platform. Let’s get real. I’m putting out my story. I got laid off, got a job after 2 months. Quit the job within a month as it needed me to relocate immediately (which was earlier supposed to happen after 3 months) plus I figured they had a very toxic culture (which I could figure before joining, but beggars can’t be choosers) I have 2 months of runway with my savings I’m married. Wife is also on a break currently. Current networth? (-)16 lacs. Have loans worth 25 lacs which will be over in next 5 years. I have been a generalist all my life, and I figured post all this layoffs that no matter what you do, how much you put in, at the end you’ll just be a Number for the company and at times of difficulty they’ll lay you off. What am I thinking next? To find freelancing and consulting services along with a job which will just be required to pay my fixed monthly expenses and have my peace of mind and on the side build things what I really love and enjoy. Will experiment the one or two ideas I have, if there are good responses and feedback and I sense a demand, will scale it up else move on to the next one. I don’t want to retire ever, I want to keep working till my last breath, but a work I love doing, a work that will always let me have my peace of mind. I don’t want to make a billion dollar company, but something that gives meaning to things I am passionate about and people can connect themselves with. P.s: I’m Not an Engineer 🙂 Would love to hear real stories from you! Put down your current situation, what are you planning, and what are you passionate about.
