Dad Lost Job

I don’t know what to do frens. Do I sell my 1,000 Link stack to help family out. They gave him 4 months severance. He’s a 60 yo computer technician/IT guy who was making 6 figs. Is there any hope that he gets a job soon or makes anywhere near what he used to make?

yes

He should have savings if was making 6 figs.

Sorry user
Hold Link no matter what...

If you want to sell, better sell now bèfore it dips any lower

Why not hold out for 4 months and see what happens by then?

Hes got four months to brush up on those skills. maybe get him some new programming for dummies books. Tell him no free lunch and that you expect him to find new work. Dont let up or next thing you know hell be squatting on the couch eating your tendies and it will be up to your mom to keep everyone fed.

why doesn't your dad just retire?

He'll be fine.
He can work as a contractor.

Health insurance and has kids in college

Can you explain to me about how he can work as a contractor?

Which skills you recommend? He has a bit trouble with learning new things now, but I’ll make sure he exercises and goes on walks with me every day

This.

>They gave him 4 months severance. He’s a 60 yo computer technician/IT guy who was making 6 figs
nigga wtf do u feel bad for then? if this retard is 60 and has been making 6 figs he should be set.

You’re an idiot who hasn’t had to raise a family. He’s not set

This

it and medical doctors are only ones who can get a job easily. prob not 6 figure unless
california or new york but if the is good and experienced programmer a decent job should be easy almost everywhere

he **should** be
doesn't mean he is but definitely should but unless they're in a super HCOL area

He could do computer repair. Just make his own business and repair people’s computers for a living. Charge like $50 per hour. My dad does this and has a bunch of repeat clients. He won’t be making 6 figures but he’ll have some income.

This is how you retards won't make it. You have 0 LINK. Get that through your thick scull. YOU DONT HAVE ANY LINKS user. YOU HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER WAY.

Get your fucking priorities straight you massive brainlets.
>ooh but I neeeeeded to buy more tendies thats why I sold it wasn't my fault
fuck off

Just tell him to walk into any major company and give everyone a firm handshake. Seriously though: he’s fucked

>Just tell him to walk into any major company and give everyone a firm handshake.
kek

>guy who was making 6 figs
How do you make 6 figs and have no savings?

>Seriously though: he’s fucked
Why? Is being a 60 yo boomer a liability?

We lived and just moved to HCOL area. He was also making just over 100k while sending kids to private schools.

maybe shouldn't have sent kids to private schools then if he wasn't already set for retirement at age 60

You don't need to save the day kid.
Your father is the man of the house and probably had savings + backup plans.
Don't try to act like Superman while your LINK is still growing.

NEVER SELL. YOUR DAD WILL THANK YOU ON HIS DEATHBED.

If you want passive income buy STATERA and pool you LINK and ETH.

Good luck, user. I think it will be hard for him to find something at his age unless he has mad connections.
My wife has been unemployed for four months now, and it's not looking good.

This

Ya 100-150k is not much to be honest especially now days even if your house was cheap. That said no you don’t sell you link you do anything besides that. Go drive uber or some shit. You protect your link. I mean link might crash we have no clue but it might also moon

He’s not a selfish boomer who cares about his bottom line. Going to private schools helped his children get into top universities. I think he’s more proud of that than having a bunch of savings, but we’ll see with the coming months.

>a 60 year old IT professional makes as much as I do with four years of software experience in a flyover state

Ouch, user.

don't panic sell yet, he has 4 months pay coming, can go on unemployment after that for 3 more months, and then likely has savings he can live on for some time. He probably has a year to find a new job, he will be fine OP.
Also, in that time your linkies will continue to rise rise rise, so don't sell yet.

chill with your dad, maybe go fishing or something, do some relaxing fun stuff thats not work related. enjoy the day, he will find a job soon, maybe invite him to the fishing or w.e.
contractor work means doing home repairs, home improvements and people pay you cash. handyman/home improvement stuff, people who can't do housework, etc. get some lawn care equipment and a trailer, start lawn care/landscaping.

Thanks user. I’m never selling, just wanted to draw in some anons for discussion about what to do in this situation.

Thanks fren, what industry is your wife looking work in? Really disappointed he lost his job, they cut his salary by 15% in March and was suppose to go back to normal in September but I guess they decided it was cheaper to just get rid of people.

This is the real /biz. Solid advice.

Dont worry OP. Life will find a way

Typical boomer. Never had to. Too much shit handed to them. Time for pain.

lol, i know this is true because i'm currently unemployed and have done all of this myself. all of that is my own real advice. home improvements/lawn care is all stuff your dad has done for the last 30 years anyways lol
