    I don’t know if this would help, but there are usually oil and gas production positions available in the Arctic oil fields that pay in excess of $60k for “no previous experience required” workers. It’s a tough place to work, potentially hazardous, and the schedules can be brutal, but I know many people that have worked those jobs for a few years to help boost their income when they were struggling. Maybe not a great long term solution, but it could alleviate the development of financial “crisis”. Also, seasonal commercial fishing or fish processing can sometimes be a good gig.

    Dave’s advice he gives to people regarding credit cards in lawsuit status is beyond scary. I worked for a firm for almost 10 years are they slimy absolutely but the advice these people are given is potentially putting them in a awful position regarding wage garnishments and bank levys. As horrible as it is to be sued just call the law firm and make a payment arrangement. Avoidance or trying to low ball a settlement is not a way to make the problem go away. Just my 2 cents 🙂

The houses will be gone, the car gone, the business gone and there is nothing left to take for the CC company. I’m pretty sure the company would be aware of how bad the situation is and settle the debt years from now for a small fraction. If not he is bankrupt and it’s over and they get zero anyway.

Bankruptcy is a nuclear option that hurts the person doing it and many others who are involved (creditors, other customers of those creditors, family, business associates, any employees who may be involved, and so on). Choice: moral high road (more difficult, but it always is) or moral low road (easier way out).

    never own property near the ocean or on an island people. Live there, rent something, let someone else deal with the natural disasters. Owning property inland is far less risky, and far less maintenance. Buildings near the ocean rot apart much faster and tend to get hit by hurricanes. So if you MUST live near the ocean go with either a solid concrete hurricane proof building, or a bamboo hut that you just build another one after each hurricane. Property owners in Florida on the coast are just waiting for the next big one. idk why people don't learn.

I've maxed SIMPLE IRA/401k and Individual IRA since then, bought cheap condo, and just throw everything else into VTSAX right now.

      "Get a Roth" - I have one, but I think I'm getting phased out for 2020 tax year. My accounting buddy said I could backdoor Roth, but that would require me moving Trad IRA funds to 401k.
      "Build cash" - Yep, check.
      "Shoot for 6m to 1y living expenses" - This is maybe where I need help because I have more than that and don't know where to put it other than VTSAX for now. I still live in a condo, so was thinking about saving for a house here long term.
      "All stock at your age" - Ya, everything I have is in VTSAX or the equivalent flavor (depending on 401k offers, etc). It's all in total stock market index funds 100%. To be clear, I'm not 27 anymore; that's just when I started. I'm 34 now, but looking at options in the future about working part time vs full time (maybe around 45-50?). Does that change anything?
