    Sadly, I’m going to be fine. Dual income/no kids, we both make decent money annd are WFH. We each own our own home and both were refinanced at the lowest rates a few years back. We have good retirement situations.

    We each have friends that are not as lucky as we are.

    We each have a niece and nephew between elementary and high school, and they both live in Red states. I fear for them. We’ve had The Talk with our siblings to let them know we will house them if needed for abortion access.

    I fear for people that aren’t as lucky as we are. We’ve helped some friends pay for rent for instance, while they were between jobs. We pick up social gathering tab’s when possible, although there’s a couple in our friend circle that usually covers those things as they have a lot more income than even us.

    I fear that the US is headed to further turmoil and the people it will affect the most is the people that can’t afford it likely friends and family.
