By now I have been unemployed for exactly 4 months but I did manage to have my wedding went as planned and I’m wrapping up several interviews, hopefully one or more of the job leads will turn into offer(s).

My cash position increased a lot last month because my wife contributed another $10,000 into the wedding fund and I received a lot of wedding gifts in cash, merger payout from one stock, plus dividends from several stocks that totaled about $1,000. However, some big credit card bills will quickly lower my cash position.

As I’m writing this blog, the market has already gone through several ups and downs. It appears that the China slowdown is finally coming and when it comes, it comes with a brutal force.

    Thank you both! I'm happy to report that one company has verbally communicated to me that they are working on an offer for me. =)
