People talk about résumés and interviews a lot, but not always the emotional side. What’s been the hardest emotional part of unemployment for you personally? For me, it's knowing that in just 4 or 5 more months (I've been unemployed for about 10 months now), I will be completely out of savings that I have built over 10 years if I don't get a job now. Any job! It's stressful!

It can be stressful and hard to budget so the savings don't dry up. I have taken up freelance to help, but it is only a portion of the pay.

I've done enough freelance work to keep a roof over my family's head, but not enough to cover all of our bills. That has been what's bleeding our savings dry right now.

Wow, exact same boat. Same time frame out of work, and used up 10 years of savings now facing eviction notice
