Ali, who once made millions a year, is now unemployed and at home for two months, in a deep despair.
He used to own three homes and two cars, but now he only has 160W cash and more than 2 million shares...
The former Ali employee, who used to earn millions a year, experienced despair and anxiety after losing his job. This state is not uncommon for middle-aged people who have worked in large factories for many years.
Anxiety stems from several aspects: whether there is a mortgage, the cost of children's education, whether the wife is working, whether the annual salary of millions can last for several years, etc.
Especially in the past two years, more and more employees of large factories who once earned millions a year are now in despair. For most middle-aged factory workers, anxiety is real.
In addition to income stability, it is also necessary to consider issues such as mortgage, children's education costs, and whether the wife is working. If these problems are solved, an annual salary of one million will not lead to anxiety beyond affordability.
As for the so-called "middle-class bankruptcy trio", that is, buying high-priced properties, keeping wives out of work, and sending children to international schools, only when these problems are solved can financial freedom be truly obtained.
From the perspective of the situation of those around you, unemployment can lead to a debt crisis. For high-paid Internet people, if they are laid off, even if they are not in debt (or can afford debt), they will not be so anxious to find a new job; Even if the wages found are not high, it is possible to sustain the family.
However, once you accumulate high debt, you must find a high-paying job to pay it off, otherwise the good life that was previously good may quickly fade.
