Yes. At least, the kid part should happen in the next week or so.

I imagine you bring it up because losing your job is a much bigger deal when you have a family and expensive stuff. I'd counter that it's only a big deal if you're not certain that you can pick up a new job any time you want.

The best way to acquire that certainty is to spend the first several years of your career proving it to yourself.

  - don't sweat your career, make a name for yourself

  - find yourself on the market for whatever reason

  - immediately get snapped up

  - repeat
If you're provably good at what you do, jobs are plentiful. Enough so that losing one doesn't really do much aside from forcing you to grab a better one.
