I've been laid off twice in the last 18 months. Worked for the government (state employee) and got laid off...then found a job at a mortgage company, and (of course) got laid off there. Unemployment is NOT enough. So, not what would I do but what have I done?
Cancelled cable, netflix subscription, home telephone. Lowered cell phone plan. Sold my car (that I love) and is driving my old '94 Ford (SO glad I kept that car!!!!). Am a stickler for grocery shopping with coupons, watching sales, etc. Buy my kids clothes used as much as possible (once upon a child). Cut WAAAYYY back on entertainment. Only buy what we NEED.
