I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you find something soon.
My Wife and I are barely keeping our noses above water, and the way things are going at work here, I don’t know if I’ll have a job in 6 months. I’ve been looking diligently for the last three months, but the only positions open are either for Doctors, over the road truck drivers or commission-only salesmen. There’s no way I could take a low wage job and not fall completely behind on my mortgage and loans.
If I lose my job, we’re sunk.
Keep the job. I’ve been having to take salaried sales positions, but low salaries. Very tough out there.
I am sorry to hear that. I have never earned a lot of money over my working life. Because of that, I always found work, even if it was a low wage job. The truth is, it is not how much money you have earned, but how much money you spend.
My advice will not help you, but perhaps a younger freeper will read and learn.
Rule number 1 - spend less then you earn. An obvious observation but one many ignore. In other words do not use credit to increase your standard of living.
Rule number 2 - save for a rainy day because one day it will rain.
Rule number 3 - be happy with what you have.
