He's literally right tho if you can't find a job, then get a minimum wage job until you can find a higher-paying one

Problem is health insurance. Insurance is tied to employment. I’ve been in places where I did have enough of a nest egg to survive a few months without a job. But the health insurance. I couldn’t go without health insurance.

Afraid of being broke? We're all broke. We're afraid of losing what little we have like food and shelter but whatever

Seasonal work is the best if you don't have a "career". The downside is you're looking for work every 6 months or so but it's easier to get seasonal work than a local fast food job in your town. I've learned how to budget for when i don't have a job and yes it is hard, but the freedom and adventures are worth it!!!

That's an extremely privileged stance for anyone to take.

perspective became more clear when they mentioned minimum wage jobs.
before that I was wondering how op intended to pay their rent while "broke" but clearly they are speaking to the middle class not those of us who are regularly pay rent a few days late depending on when payday falls.

As someone who spent 6 months looking for a job, only to get laid off after 3 days!! Do not quit your job!!! If you hate your job make time to look for something else but don’t risk unemployment in this economy.

As someone who works in unemployment people do just quit without finding jobs first and they usually panic about getting unemployment. Most people don’t qualify for unemployment if you quit.

i despised my last job and it took me OVER A YEAR to find another one. we would never have been able to afford living if I'd quit with no backup. yes, my mental health suffered. yes, my physical health suffered. but i did it to remained housed and help care for my family. now I'm at a job I love with a company that makes me feel appreciated and I get to help support my husband to find the same

Because inevitably the moment your insurance cuts off is the moment you really need it. Then don’t have money to pay said medical/car/housing bills.

Nope, it was the same decades ago. Never leave voluntarily if you don't have SOME sort of net, unless it's a real threat (in which case, get a free lawyer consultation). Even if that *is* a computer engineer leaving to stock shelves overnight at Target. Don't leave without anything on the other side, ever. Even stocking shelves overnight is not guaranteed, don't look at it as *so far beneath you*. "But this job isn't good for my mental health!" Try being unemployed?

The ONLY times quitting when you don’t have something else lined up is if you’re rich or if the job is one you are literally incapable of continuing to do

okay I don't know how it is in the US, but in my country the fast food places are not hiring the people with master's degrees so that's not really an option

Many high qualified people cannot get these quote, unquote, easy jobs because the jobs will read your resume and be like you're not, you're overqualified for this, you're not gonna hang out.You're not gonna last, you're gonna leave.We aren't in between place no.

They underpay us so we can’t leave the trash jobs. It’s by design.

It’s true though… I just quit my job because my PD was doing illegal things. I made to sure to give 30 days notice and they fired me the next day via email. lol. Guaranteed unemployment. Mentally I was drained and the money wasn’t worth the drain.
