If you’ve lost your job or had a loss of income for other reasons, it’s a challenge in the best of times. In the current economy, it’s essential to map out a plan to get back on your feet again.
Possible ways for moving forward include:
Think positive- Simplify your lifestyle
- Work temporarily at a second job
- Find another job
- Return to school
- Start your own business
When mapping out a plan, consider:
- The magnitude of the problem
- Your assets
- Your priorities
- Your options
- The unexpected
- A timeline
See the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Web page, When Your Income Drops, for fact sheets, activities, and PowerPoint presentations to help you brainstorm and make a plan for the future.
