When couples transition from traditional employment to gig work by necessity

My husband and I both lost our traditional jobs during the pandemic and pivoted to gig work to survive and now the economy has reopened but we're making decent money in the gig economy and have flexibility we never had before but no benefits or long-term security. We can't decide if we're experiencing liberation or just getting older in a system designed for young people without families.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to distinguish between genuine opportunity and rationalized adaptation to economic circumstances beyond their control.
