It's hard to be positive when your world seems to be falling apart around you. Find friends who will lift you up instead of anonymous people who post about 'You shouldn't have spent more than you can afford' or point out 'O Rly, you should be optimistic'. Sarcasm tags add nothing to the conversation when you looking for any advice to that can truly help or inspire.
Misery loves company and there sure seems to be a lot of self loathing miserable people here. I believe most folks are truly good and supportive and don't they don't generally live in their parent's basement. - username7410, on 04/09/2009, -0/+7"6. Go into ‘survival mode’ if necessary."
Cannibalism? Drastic. - algaeturd, on 04/09/2009, -0/+6FTA:
“I have always lived frugally so when I lost my job last year, I didn’t sweat it so much. It has taught me how much money I really need to live. I have less stress, more exercise. (I no longer drive; I buy a bus pass that takes me everywhere.) Because I take a bus, I shop less. I can only buy what I can carry. ... I am fortunate. I can live on my unemployment (mortgage, etc.). Being unemployed has helped me to stop and take stock of my life.”
This is the kind of clueless foolishness that I can't stand.
Really? You can 'live' on your unemployment? And pay your mortgage? Well how about when your unemployment ends and your savings are gone and the job market is tapped?
Still so happy and optimistic about it? Going to go volunteer down at the local shelter and cook for others and host an 'adult gaming night?'
Face it: For some people it is very realistic to stress the ***** out during this time. Optimism and a few dollars won't get you much these days. - Mattwdj, on 04/09/2009, -0/+5video games
- NoozeHound, on 04/07/2009, -0/+5Even with the comparative price freeze, Cocaine? On a budget?
Plimpton I would suspect you have access to other funds. - ninjaturtles1, on 04/09/2009, -0/+5So it's a case of do what I say, not what I do!
- triple110, on 04/09/2009, -0/+5Oh look, more annoying articles written by people who don't know what it means to be really broke. Here's my own list:
1. If you are pulling in 2000 a month in unemployment you aren't broke.
2. If you have a savings or other equity to fall back on, you aren't broke.
3. If you still have cable, internet or a phone you aren't broke.
4. Even if you can barely make a payment on a 200K+ home, you aren't broke.
5. If you are being paid by company to write articles for a major media outlet, you aren't broke and shouldn't be lecturing or advising people who are on how to "stay positive". - flangepiece, on 04/09/2009, -0/+4You say "drastic", I say "Pass me the BBQ sauce".
- inactive, on 04/09/2009, -0/+3i don't know what's wrong with you but it makes me very happy
- inactive, on 04/09/2009, -0/+3#10 is perfect.
- DavidTurnbull, on 04/09/2009, -1/+4Actually, it can be more money-wise to not have a job. People spend money on fancy suits, lunch during work, gas, and a whole bunch of other work-related things and they don't realize that their work is actually causing their debt.
Whilst you do have to eventually do something in exchange for money for a while being unemployed can work out better for you. Also, if you have enough savings you can just go and live in Thailand for $1000 per month. Doesn't sound too practical for most people, but the option is there. - DavidTurnbull, on 04/09/2009, -1/+311. Soma
- NeoNcP, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2It'd be redundant if it said "Be Happy", however being optimistic and being happy are very different.
- algaeturd, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2Yeah, good luck with that. If you think you're getting in now on the ground floor, I think you'll be a little shocked by this time next year.
- Licurgo, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2that is not free at all,unless you're a rapist
- NoozeHound, on 04/07/2009, -0/+2I can see the restaurateurs of Dallas loving Yves.
- Licurgo, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2instigate sedition always work for me
- inactive, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2Only one thing?
- Barackalypse, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2Who needs any step beyond not having to get up and go to a job that you hate?
- gordigor, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2It seems you didn't get the point. Be positive and optimistic instead of being a dick.
- madame2, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2Gather with some friends and watch films together (happy/stupid films)
Or if you have a lot of time, learn to play an instrument, that will keep your mind very busy! - sodoh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+2There is no point in stressing out. Most stress is based on not accepting the situation your in or building future scenarios that may or may not ever happen.
I see it all the time and it annoys the crap out of me. Most people want the problems fixed for them.
The end point is, if you are in a situation that you do not like then you change it. If it is not possible to change then you need to learn to live with the situation and move on. Getting stressed out or whining about it will not solve the issue and at the end of the day the only person responsible for you is you. - m00nmaster, on 04/09/2009, -0/+111. Watch Good Times
- Mattwdj, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1LOL Mjvvaiisme, I do exactly the same thing. hahahah

- Spoomeister, on 04/10/2009, -0/+1tickle fight!
- Eorster, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Just don't keep it until next year. Buy, sell, buy, repeat.
- Eorster, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Great suggestion, GE at 7, BAC at 3. Just add the juice. Watch it grow. LOL. You cheered me up, no really it had nothing to do with selling BAC at 7 or GE at 10.
- umbro, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Leave Facebook.
- tgc1, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Used to work for me. Every time I did, when I was young, it was like going to a ***** amusement park. Now it's like sitting there masturbating. Not that fun.
- inactive, on 04/07/2009, -0/+1That or I can't afford the things I mentioned.
*blushes in embarrassment* - monkiboi, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1I would say in that order too.
- Balzak65, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1"I see it all the time and it annoys the crap out of me." Hate to tell you this, but being annoyed is being stressed. Let it go man.
- sodoh, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1Different kind of annoyance tbh.
- Swivelstick, on 04/09/2009, -0/+1So casual sex actually means hooker?
- whmia, on 04/09/2009, -0/+0www,onlylead.com
- JoeHague, on 04/09/2009, -0/+0I was referring to the physical love between a man and a woman, i.e. sexual intercourse.
- redwolfwalker, on 04/07/2009, -1/+1Some good advice in the article that can be of great help
- YourBuddy1, on 04/15/2009, -0/+0You folks are funny as hell...lol ... I say why not look for the best out of every situation...How can we capitalize off this recession? Because if you not capitalizing then that means you are losing..
Think about it....
What's something that people are still doing even though times are tuff? They are on myspace, facebook, digg, blogspot, twitter and many more. They are talking with friends, staying in touch, looking at old classmates getting fat...
Now if you can figure out at way to get paid every time your friends your profile, get paid every time some sends you a message, every time someone reads your blog, everytime some looks at your videos....
The People that make the most out of this recession will be the ones who wont have 2 worry about their 401k fall to nothing....We need toTake advatage of this and stop feeling sorry for our selves....

- umbro, on 04/09/2009, -0/+0I'm surprised no one has suggested happy pills.
