Losing a job at a crucial moment can feel like the world’s crashing down — whether it’s financial pressure, family responsibilities, or just the fear of the unknown. But here’s what I want to know from you: What was your mindset in that moment? How did you handle it, and what did you learn as you moved forward? If you’ve been through it and come out stronger, share your story — someone out there might need to hear how you made it through.

It never was a problem for me. I have always practiced sound saving and investing, and so when a job left me, I was never left without money that hadn't already been set aside for a "rainy day."
Everyone should have, at all times, at least 6 months worth of salary socked away so that in the event they lose their job, they have money they can use to replace their income while they are seeking new employment.

Its quite difficult to find a job that can sustain your basic needs. That is why I am so grateful that I have one to support my needs and my family as well.

I had to leave my job many times due to various reasons. I still feel depressed when I had to resign from Central School as a PGT English teacher and from DAV school after that where I wanted to continue. I didn't loose hope and kept on working whenever I got an opportunity.

I will find another part time job so that I can buy whatever I need like healthy food.
