Depresses me how smart, high earners get themselves into such a position. IF the works not setting you free what's the point, aren't you a serf no matter what car you drive. Isn't a fundamental point of capitalism to get enough capital and put IT to work so that you don't need to keep labouring, unless you want to of course.
Redundancy sucks, happened a couple of times to me in the past.
Good luck to all.
