Why I'm Saving Like AI Is Going to Take My Job (Because It Might)

I Watched AI Replace My Coworker's Job — Here's Why I'm Saving Like Mine Could Be Next A few months ago, I watched a coworker's role quietly get automated by AI — no warning, no drama, just gone. It made me rethink everything about how I'm preparing financially for a future where AI and automation could disrupt any job, including mine. In this video, I break down: • Why this wave of AI automation is different from past tech shifts (industrial revolution, internet, spreadsheets) • Why entry-level and junior jobs are getting hit hardest right now • Why "just reskill" isn't a complete answer • How the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early) gives you leverage — not just an escape hatch — if your job gets disrupted • Practical steps for building financial independence at any career stage, AI disruption or not ⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a licensed financial advisor.
