Tight but not terrible for me.

Got laid off in May and spent a few months without work. Luckily got some severance and had some savings, so didn't manage to go backwards.

Working again now, but took a pretty big pay hit to get working again, the competition in the market for my job level is very heavy.

On the upside, the new job is far less stress and my quality of life is up because of it in spite of the money situtation.

Have several friends that have been laid off though, including my landlord (not a huge concern since he owns my house outright), and keep hearing of more. It's one thing to hear about it and worry, but I do actually know several people firsthand who've been laid off in the past 3-6 months, including myself.
