you that they just lost their jobs. I am a nervous wreck right now. I have been out of work for seven months. This morning my husband called to say that he was fired. He is a salesman, and the company said he wasn't reaching his guotas. Gee, people are not buying things now, so it is hard to sale things to people. I feel so stressed. How would you react or how did you react if this has already happened to you?

Hi.I seen your posting and i wanted to stop by to talk. I was lay off two weeks ago and i have been lucky to find another. I know how much my wife worried about not having any money coming in and she still is.I don't start till the end of next week. I am a older man,my wife and I have been through some bad times.not with one other just bad times. like in the 60 when jobs where hard to come by. it may be hard for you but, in the long run we all have to put up with the pain of life.remember to spend some time with each other. you can go to the park and walk together.go watch people you will be surprised how much you will enjoy just being together. talk about something other then money,work or problems. our prays are with you. remember enjoy each other all the rest will work it self out

I am so sorry to hear that your husband lost his job today. I Nam sure it is hard to hear. Especially since you have been out of work for so long. If I had a husband and I was already out of work, I would be really upset.

i feel sorry for the people that lost there job its like hell because everone is in a crysis if you lost your job they cant give you anohter job so then its hard to live. My dad works in a resturant and because of hte crysis and lack of money they are losing business they are getting less then half then they did last year! now i prefer you make a backup plan so then when you have started to lose your job you can try and buy a house for less money and change it into a shop. i dont think that anymore jobs are going to go now because hey have now made a difrent systen they are giving more child benifit and putting the gas, insurance ect. ect. down!
