A real Portlander now
Laid off then I had the trip of a lifetime in Japan last year. Spent about $3-4,000 of my severance on it.

Number 1 is get job for this year. I have about 3 months left of unemployment insurance before dipping into my $57,000 cash emergency fund. This should last me about 1.25 years at our current spending.

Then max the Roth.

I don't know where my savings options are after that. Everything else is in stasis, but I think I'm going to be conservative with my maxing savings until I'm another year into paying unemployment. I'll do any match from future employer, but probably keep everything else liquid. If anything I'm pretty much at 100% of my part of a down payment if I don't touch what's left of the e-fund.

My partner is hiking the Appalachian trail this year so it's his year for us.

I have one job interview and potentially another lined up. I really hope it doesn't drag on for a whole year.

Total assets to start this year ~$333,000 with ~$250,000 for retirement. 30 years to ride on it :)
