Don't give up! Live within your means and get out of debt. Put away a years supply of food. Use the food and rotate the food. Have a years worth of wages in your bank account. Get more training. Do fun things with your family and friends. Make a budget and stick to it. Buy a couple guns and have some ammo laying around. Do some community service and help mow the old neighbors grass down the road. Stay positive! These current economic situations will pass. Most importantly get to know your maker. We'll all be meeting him very soon. IBEW 4 years and IUEC 22 years. It's a shame that my IUEC Local won't give me the time of day to discuss a signatory agreement. Nothing better than working for a small independent that can manage guys without the need for GPS.
