For my location it’s mostly earthquakes and job loss are the major issues for me. I’m applying to get a federal (state bare minimum) job that’s permanent and year round but those jobs are difficult\rare to get. I’m also working on saving extra funds in case of a job loss or even earthquake and relocating pending on job that can help pay off my college debt (quicker)- getting close if I stay to my plan that will be paid off in about 2 years min 3.5 max if I can keep to my plan/goal (while working 2 jobs). Currently located in CA, but if I can get towards the northern most part of the state I can deal with the nonsense from the central/southern part of the state (to a certain extent) and the biggest issues (earthquakes) of the state barring the political issues, I’d be able to ride the waves of any major issues (mostly volcanic in the northern most borders and droughts). Even at that I’m still working on a 3-6 month cost of living back up. That means living way below my means – hello beans/rice and chicken on occasion, while trying to get to an area where the people still have the small town thoughts/vibe.
Currently I work for a construction company and I see how the the cards can fall when things take a turn for the worst. Which worries me the most, and is the major cause for me trying to get out of my location and back to an area that you put in the work and effort is recognized and respected. I was raised in a small town that there was no big city nonsense and I had to respect the custodian as much as I would the mayor (if my town decided to even have an honorary mayor – to small and unincorporated) and that would be very nice to settle down in or at least try to pending on location.
(sorry for the long post)
