I found out this week that the company I work for is being sold and I will be unemployed by mid-July. Not too good when we're trying to stash away some major savings for our launch into full timing. BUT WAIT! Between my severance package and 6 months of unemployment benefits, I will be getting paid right up to when we planned to start full timing next April. I'm looking forward to the time off to get the rig and house ready. Sometimes things happen for a reason and just work out right?

Absolutely! I am a firm believer that things happen (and sometimes don't) for a reason. That was our situation as well - we were planning our lifestyle - taking it relatively slowly and step-by-step, until I was laid off from work and we were forced to put our plans in fast forward so that we could sell the house (instead of it going into foreclosure) (also turns out my former employer became a client of mine).
Wishing you all the best and a smooth transition.

After the storm comes a rainbow. Looks like your rainbow is shining brightly now.
