if not will max roth annually be sufficient?
current spend is really about 48k a year doing everything I want.
Maybe later it could be 60-70k but i don’t really spend on much.
I do plan on contributing just wondering if i hit first stage of coast fire?
was working at a company that I already planned to leave in about nine months, once my apartment lease was up since I relocated for the job. Then, out of nowhere, the company shut down yesterday without warning anyone. I showed up to work only to find out that both my significant other and I were suddenly unemployed.
I'm 24 and was making six figures as a salaried manager. My girlfriend handled contracting for the company and was also making six figures. Before this, my experience was almost entirely in healthcare sales and other 1099 sales roles. I also don't have a college degree, which makes this feel even more intimidating because I'm worried it's going to limit my options.
Now I feel completely lost. Every non-sales job I look at seems like it would come with a 50–60% pay cut, but sales has always been incredibly stressful for me. The pressure and anxiety eventually become overwhelming, even if the money is good.
I honestly have no idea what I want to do next. We have about five months' worth of expenses saved, which I'm grateful for, but it still feels like the clock is ticking. I'm trying not to panic, but it's hard not to when it feels like everything changed overnight.
Has anyone been in a similar position? If you were able to pivot out of sales without a degree, what did you end up doing? Or if you stayed in sales, how did you find a role that wasn't so mentally draining? I'd really appreciate any advice because right now I just feel overwhelmed and don't know what direction to take.
