Instead, it’s time to give folks some ideas they can use when it’s crunch time, they are scrambling and when survival is the main concern. So here you go:
1. When it comes to looking for employment, get your ego out of the way. The fact is that your family needs food and your bills need to be paid. You have something called “commitments.” Which means you should be committed to paying them. You have “obligations.” Which means you are obligated to pay them. When you got married, I am betting that your vows said something along the lines of “for richer, for poorer.” That is the same vow you take with your other obligations and commitments as well. When you had your kids you didn’t agree to make sure they had food only when you had the job of your dreams and times were good. You also didn’t sign a contract with your mortgage company, bank or credit card company saying you would only make your payments when you were employed. You just committed to taking care of your obligations. There were no conditions associated with your commitment.
