As much as I can plan for a rainy day, getting through first year was already part of that, so any attitude of “if you can’t be ready financially you’re wrong, blah blah” can go pound sand.
And I’ve been downgraded and through two furloughs before. Some of you just don’t get we haven’t all had these magical careers.
