@an so if we have two extra cars and a boat we might want to sell them off and not keep them - that tracks
@dw
Um, I think not.
Since they asked that broad and most basic question.
It's not worth answering.
It's like asking if putting water in a car's gas tank will be better than using gas.
From your savings and investments. You are saving and investing, right?
@OP
Very carefully.
Great question! I’ll be on the chopping block soon :)
You don't need to pay your bills even when you're employed. It doesn't really matter, money is made up.
Not sure if this post is serious or not, but … I was displaced last year. Had a year’s worth of severance. I remember after about 3 days once it settled in, I looked at my spending, bills, etc. and decided to cut everything I didn’t absolutely need. Sold two cars, my boat, etc. Cut streaming, cable, etc. Saved a ton. Found a job six months into severance (30% less than I made at WF) and am actually saving money, investing more, etc. It was kind of a cool feeling to literally get rid of everything, save my home and a 2015 Honda Accord…it was liberating.

No. You must pay. Sell your blood. Maybe a kidney.
Can’t pay what you don’t have…
Yes
