<prompt> Human: Not really sure where I am going with this, but could use any advice that is out there...Currently a seasonal firefighter with the Forest Service, which means I am unemployed 5-6 months out of the year. Going into unemployment, I have saved up about 22K after tax from this fire season. I dont pay rent but pay my buddies around 300 a month for utilities living in their garage. No car insurance, no college debt graduated with a business degree, quit that to do what I love, and spend 1800 a month including utilities. Never had any credit card debt and am always on top of payments. The kicker is that I also collect unemployment in the offseason, which turns out to be around 1800 a month so 9000 for the 6 months I am off. I am trying to live solely off unemployment and saveinvest the 19K i made this summer. I recently opened a roth IRA and rolled over 650 from my old employer as well as opened a brokerage account with Fidelity. Any advice on how much to put into my Rothbrokerage account. I plan on doing this seasonal job for the next three years, so if I can continue to live off unemployment, I would expect to have around 55k saved up after the next three years.  <response>: If by chance you happen to live in a place that experiences snow and youre not too far from an airport, look into aircraft deicing jobs. This is a seasonal winter job and mostly only during snow falls and the companies that do this prefer to hire firefighters as theyre naturally better at learninghandling deicer trucks. Not sure how that will impact your unemployment but I hear they pay well for a side gig.
