How long would you survive comfortably if you lost your job?

I have not worked for 8 months now since my car crash. Savings are all gone. On Government Sponsored Sick Leave which has to end soon.

Probably a year....
Hope you are doing ok

@Gusman how long before you can work again?

@Miklee02 That is a question I can not answer. My ankle has not regained strength after being broken so any job requiring me to be on my feet all day is virtually out. It swells after a couple of hours and loses strength.

@Gusman ugh 😑 I’m so sorry

I think you might want to edit the question a bit.

@Gusman I'm the official grammar Nazi, remember? Omitting an "r" would be nice, as in "if you lost your job."

@ZonkeyBalls Thank you. I read it twice before posting as well. At least I thought I read it😁

Went a good few months on my last few payments. I'm ill so I get money every month. It's enough to keep me going.

Financially I'd be OK. I'm past 59.5 so I could draw from my 401K and other retirement accounts without penalty.
Mentally I'd be a grumpy mess.
When do you go back?
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Spoiledbrat Probably will not go back to my previous job because I would not pass the Medical required. Which will mean having to look for other employment. At my age we are not wanted. So rough times coming up.
Isn’t that ageism? @Gusman
Gusman · 61-69, M
@Spoiledbrat It is Ageism. Very prevalent in Australia. Bosses say age is not an issue. But reading Letters To the Editor tells a different story.
Ageism can not be proven.
