Laid off today

don't sweat it Brian\Lastnline. I realized as soon as I read your reply that you were upset over bigger stuff than my cold comment and that I touched a nerve. But at the time, I figured if your going to post it in the RR section, I was gunna roost around on your Obama comment :biggrin: . It was nice of you to PM me, most guys won't go that far and the ones that do are usually the unique people that I like. I might be coming out to Texas next fall, I'll buy you a beer :beer:

 

Enough of that. Getting layed off is great. Its gives you more time to train for the upcoming Thunderdome battles of 2011. I'v been layed off since October !! Iv worked a full time job for literally 18 years. Iv never collected unemployment till last October. I didn't know life without waking up at 5 am and going to a job. I have it better than most people, I don't have any bills, I have a nice nest egg and I don't have much family to take care of. I went bowhunting more times this season than the last two combined. Its frickin' great. Gots all kinda time to work on the house... trout season is going to be GREAT, I'll be out for trout every morning. I'm thinking about riding my RZ west as far as I can stand it. So yea, always try to look on the bright side. :beer: You might be surprised how nice it is to be OUT of the rat race.

 

I hope you guys can afford to be layed off. Everyone should be prepared. I know a thing or two about the economy and the markets and this is something very big. I'v been stressing it here for a while, just how bad this economy problem is and is going to get. I don't think you'll find anyone who thinks its going to get better anytime soon. Pay off those credit cards and mortgages asap. You should try to have a six month emergency backup cash supply saved up and kept in a money market account.

unemployment was the best thing to ever happen to me. Worked in plastics for 4 years. Shitty job with no room for advancment. Now I get almost the same amount in unemployment and have started my own shop. On top of that they pay for you to go back to school. Shit man I can do whatever I want and actually get to see daylight for the first time in 4 years. Dont get me wrong, being unemployed does hurt the ego at first. Just use it to your advantage. Milk that shit for all its worth. Do things that you have been wanting to but couldnt before. Take a break, you only live once.
