Unemployment Success Stories

Posted Tue, 09/21/2010 - 20:41 by chuck

Have you gotten a job or started a business? Learned how to thrive as a stay-at-home mom/dad? Invented a perpetual motion machine in your copious spare time?

It's a hard world out there. We all know how shitty unemployment is. Anybody succeeding?

I'll get the party started: My business is going well. I'm going to turn a profit and become a taxpaying citizen. I'm focussed and on-task. My successes are now legitimate points of pride and my "failures" are just learning experiences. (Yay, therapy!)

Never Give Up!

Aired October 22, 2010 WESH Channel 2 Television News Report, Orlando, Florida

I am hoping that my story will keep some other “laid off” person ENCOURAGED. Although it took 2 years to find another job after being “laid off” – I never stopped looking.

Please share the “link” below with anyone who may be going through what I went through for two years. Sometimes WESH Channel 2 has an “advertisement” on before the story – so please be patient for a few moments!

Inspiration - Income Sources!

Posted Sat, 12/24/2011 - 13:02 by Angela J. Shirley

Another year is drawing to an end & I have often wondered how other folks were able to general income during this very challenging year for us all.

I am hoping that we can help each other with ideas, advice and suggestions - whatever term you want to label this...

I am one that likes to LEARN how other folks are doing what I want to do, and this time, it is about "financial independence"...

Not so much about becoming rich, but getting to point that at age 53 I am not constantly wondering from "week to week" what bills will be paid(lol).

Surviving Unemployment, a Retrospective

Posted Sat, 12/03/2011 - 11:59 by chuck

Touch wood, but I have survived unemployment.

Of course, nothing is permanent. Technically self-employed, I actually feel more secure than I ever did in a job. When the current contract ends, there will be another, or I will pursue something else that will make me enough money to live decently. It's nice to have that kind of confidence. Makes life a lot easier.
