ugh. FUCK YOU ECONOMY!

[AceFace]

just found out matt may be losing his job. he's def the bread winner. he makes more in this city than most in his job level, so i don't see him getting a job paying what he makes. i'm so nervous.

we find out tomorrow if he's gone. they're requiring all fired employees to work until Feb before they can get their severance. i think that's pretty shitty of them.

i don't know what we're gonna do. i'm so scared. :/

Sorry to hear, my lady and I live quite within our very little means so I feel for ya.

bush said it is American to work 2 to 3 jobs to make ends meet. Too bad the ass can't do 1 job correctly.

goodluck!

[AceFace]

thanks. we almost live within our means. we have a little debt to pay down, minus cars and house. if we could just pay that off, we'd be ok. still unnerving, though.

[kaiser soze]

I know how it feels to get a little bit out of the way. I just paid off my car and my girlfriends is paid off

but collectively we have $30,000 in student loans and kid on the way.....whoa!!!

[jabumbo]

well, if it happens, i guess the good thing about working until february would be that you'd have some time to find a new job, right?

[MC Moot]

That's lousy...I have my fingers and toes collectively crossed for you both...

[Guy Incognito]

there are a lot going at our place and its a very ugly atmosphere, each time a dept has people cut, everyone else starts shitting it. I hope i will be alright especially now i have two kids to feed.

Aceface- hope everything goes ok.

they should do , at my place if you get made redundant they give you 30 days to work and you are allowed as much time off to look for work as you want

[HEIRESS]

Atleast you have each other.

I keep putting off getting into a mortgage because I only have myself to depend on to pay it off presently.

its fucking scary on your own.

[Dorothy Wood]

Yikes, that sucks. I already knew a few people before this major stuff happened that got laid off and it's tough stuff looking for a job. I don't make much money, but I know I'll always have a job where I am now. even if my hours get cut or something. I need to save some money though, in case shit goes really bad.

good luck!

[na§tee]

that blows, i'm sorry for you. i think it is super shitty of them to to make their employees work until february, stopping people who may see a great job and want to go for it but have to wait in order to get their severance. really bloody cheeky. i'd be pissed off with that too.

i am very pleased i have just gone into a permanent job (my last job was fixed term and just kept on getting renewed). i count my lucky beans.

like airesse i am scared about buying a flat on my own right now. i don't have enough for a deposit yet, but i am very keen on getting my property shit on. i know it'll be a shitty wee dive with my one mediocre salary but hey. i don't care. my mum's partner keeps on crapping on about it being a BUYERS' MARKET right now and i guess he is right, but it's a big commitment to take on.

at least he isn't on his own and you can tighten your belt to get through things until he finds another job - and he will. i hope so, because america's social security is a bit poor. so bbc news tells me. hrm.

It’s times like this I really appreciate the stability the military offers…sadly I called my brother in law the other day to check on my investments and I think I’ve lost about 12k in the past few months…ugh. Anyway make good use of the next few months to get your shit straight and hopefully find a new job. Worst case scenario you guys are welcome to crash with me for a while
