I used half to live off over the last few years, after I lost my job and the Covid pandemic destroyed the aviation industry I worked in, and my ex wife took every penny I'd saved as a precaution against just such a scenario, in a divorce she started to run off with someone else. I know, irony can be a bitch, and it was just starting to recover as well, thank fuck I have found some part time work as a contractor. Looks like I will be nursing my chronic back pain through a few more years work, into my 60's, bugger. Luckily I replaced my aging Samsung phone just recently, so it's not all bad.
Thank you Donal J Trump...
Sorry you're having a tough time of it. If one thing, perhaps the tariffs will turn European buyers to Airbus and BAe and give you a better employment market? One can hope.
