Well none of us have that crystal ball that can forewarn of looming downturns in the economy. Since before our election everything died about October. I had to pay $35K in taxes right out of my bank account this April. Almost no income since October, of course I had saved it up but not counting on no income half a year. I was penalized $1,000 for paying late (our rules) however our very nice government refunded over $700 of it. That was nice they didn't have to.
I'm surprised you seem very gifted I'd think you'd be pretty well off financially but I thought the same of myself until there was no more income. Trump will likely catch us up handsomely on the tail end but for now people are holding on to their money. It's picking up somewhat but I was selling gear to pay the house note. I often think or know all things are always for sale but the Event would be the last to go because it's that good because it can do everything. My analogs and PA5x, maybe the M8x would go first.
I know I can always buy them again or something new when things get better. Everything ebbs and flows. I will have to learn some new software to make myself more marketable I think that's a must going forward. I need to get off my ass and go get the jobs it's been so easy over the last 4 years work just pouring in automatically.
I've lived several lives already. All engineering but industrial, commercial and residential. Residential is driven by hurricane codes here in the south they are very strict so I can always find work in those fields. I've been self employed since C19 which we discussed and how things have changed. I could never go back into the office it's so bad with office politics and hierarchy. Unless I'm the new boss going in.
