1. Sell your unused stuff: Ebay, craigslist, yard sale. You might have attachment to a lot of items in your house but ask yourself, "do I need it". You can make a couple hundred dollars on a morning yard sale. Just remember you're not selling antiques. keep the price very affordable and you will have cash in your pockets.
2. Cancel unnecessary expenses. This can be the cable tv, unused memberships, investments, and anything that you are not using or can be without for the next few months until you get back on your feet.
3. Part time job: You might have a college degree so a part time job might seem absurd. But, if you have a free night or weekend a part time job might help add a few dollars to the house. Working at night can free up your days to look for a permanent job.
4. Start your own part time business: There are plenty of businesses to start on your own. Most of them only take sweat equity. It can be from lawn care, babysitting, running errands, grocery shopping for others, home care, etc. Remember, if you don't have the money to start a business you have the smarts to be creative.
5. Volunteer: Find a charity that you are passionate about and volunteer. This may seem out of the ordinary but keeping your mind and passion focused can help you in the long run. This will help you keep things in order and even make some great contacts in the process.
Hang in there. Don't get discouraged. Remember, there are others going thru the same situation. Think of this as a new opportunity to reinvent yourself. This is the opportunity you have been waiting for to find the career you truly love. Don't do this alone. Find a support group, mentoring group, life coach, career coach, spiritual advisor or a counselor. this is your chance to renew your life in the path that you were meant to be on.
