File Under “No Shit”

If you read my newsletter–and you should–you’ll know that work, or the lack thereof has been on my mind lately.

I mean, being let go from two jobs in one year while 40+ (after buying a home in a supposedly affordable city with a mortgage 2x what you were paying in NYC) isn’t exactly living the dream.
