I also agree that your freak out factor is low because there is a backup income, etc. The freak out factor is higher if you're the sole support of yourself (or supporting a family), have a house payment due soon, your cost of living is slashed below do-able - wondering how you are going to pay the bills. So count your blessings that you can float it and turn it into an opportunity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-20760347575580112212009-03-10T15:24:00.000-07:002009-03-10T15:24:00.000-07:00LOVE this attitude, Kristin.

Seriously, that's the way I've always looked at it. <BR/><BR/>I literally switch channels the moment the pundits begin moaning about the economy. I know it's a bad time, but oh well, this too shall pass.Dan-Eric Slocumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312592609859387599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-85355780763584842552009-03-10T10:24:00.000-07:002009-03-10T10:24:00.000-07:00I too have been laid off.

In both cases I enjoyed the break and ended up making more money than I did before!Jeremy Graterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301818574708810982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604756439843084387.post-79176512815165331502009-03-10T10:05:00.000-07:002009-03-10T10:05:00.000-07:00Yeah, I think that a lay off could be a good thing...Yeah, I think that a lay off could be a good thing when you are a HMNDWF or whatever it is you said. I also think it forces people really go for that risk they were always afraid for. I have a friend who got laid off two weeks ago. It's sad, but now she's thinking of finally opening up a pre-school. She'd be great but with her previous job, the risk was just to great, now in a way, she has no other option. I know that if I got laid off, I'd probably move back in with my parents and head back to school. Hmm, do you think that's what I should do regardless . . . haa haa!andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706058561414918096noreply@blogger.com
