UPDATE for 2009 -- Self-Sufficiency for the Long Haul

The more self-sufficient you can make yourself, the more time you'll gain to get back on your feet.

I recommend starting a small garden. Depending on your resources (a small plot set aside in your yard versus living in an apartment, etc.), one of these eBooks may prove helpful:

• High Density Gardening. How To Design, Build, Set Up, Grow With And Maintain A High Density Garden To Provide You And Your Family With Fresh, Wholesome And Tasty Vegetables.
• Free Organic Vegetable Gardening At Home. Learn How To Start Up Or Enhance Your Own Organic Vegetable Garden At Home. Everyone Can Save Money On Food Bills And Produce Superior Fruit And Vegetables.
• Homemade Hydroponics. Hydroponics Secrets Shows You How To Grow The Plants, Fruits And Vegetables -even In Limited Space--without Using Soil.

Steps to take when you've become unemployed (suddenly or otherwise)

The following pages will assist you through what can be an unsettling time. I've included the basic information you need to handle things on a pragmatic level as well as insight into some of the emotional / unexpected events that might occur and how to deal with them.

You may begin with STEP One:

• 1) Filing for Unemployment and Keeping/Obtaining Healthcare Insurance
  
  or jump ahead to the answer you need:

• 2) Getting the Word Out You Are Available for Work - Part A
       (make it easy for your network of family, friends, and associates to help you)
• 3) Getting the Word Out You Are Available for Work - Part B

     (researching companies/positions; applying and posting your résumé online)


• 4) Advancement / Career Changing through Continuing Education
