Who Needs A Job, Anyway?
from the better-off-without-it dept
For all those people who were scared and upset that the dot com that employed them was going out of business, many are suddenly realizing that life without a job isn't so bad. Sure, there are bills that need to be paid, but if you had some savings, and live frugally, you can get by for a period of time and actually enjoy your days. That's what many former dot commers are finding. While they all expect to go back to work at some point, they're making the best of their current situation.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Savings? Ha!
Fast-forward to now. Jobless again. Caught without savings again. Moderate prospects in sight, but hope is waning. Will fate smile on me once more? Only time will tell. Sigh.

Its all well and good...
If I had NO debts, I could squeak by on UI..food rent etc...and then maybe consulting.
But with all my liabilities its too uncertain...I simply need a paycheck.
