The only thing certain in life besides death is change.
If you have free time, don't waste it. Use it learn whatever it is you need to learn to open new future opportunities.
My 2 cents...
>>All I can say is hold on and survive.<<
It is a bit late for some, but the way to survive is to live well within your means and stock up on cash when you do have employment. The bigger the nest-egg, the better you’ll breath. Those who are currently employed should act as if they won’t be tomorrow. I have 9 months gross pay in a special account (sadly, you can’t get squat on CDs or Interest checking accounts but I want to able to tap it at a moment’s notice). But has taken me 10 years to accumulate it.
Pay cash for everything, do without that which you can’t buy for cash. Use a very few cards (it is almost impossible to operate today without them), get the points and use them like cash — always pay them down to zero.
All the ideas here to stretch dollars should be strongly considered.
FWIIW, that is what people with money do. I read last week that the popular car for millionaires is a Toyota Camry.
