When you don’t have a job you don’t have money to put gas in the car to go to social events. I have never been laid off but the time is coming and already I’m starting to be far more careful in spending my money, in case I don’t have a job lined up to go to. I have turned down social invitations that would have required a four-hour round trip because of the gas involved and the wear-and-tear on the car. Far from being broke now, just being prudent.
Being prudent is prudent.
May I ask which age group you are in?
