Reader Debra wins my review copy of Creative Unemployment: How To Transcend Job Loss for her understated comment.

I would love to read this book. I have been looking for work since the end of April – it is very emotionally draining.

I hope this book helps you get through this difficult time, Debra. If you missed my review of the book, author Harlan Kidwell Jr. focuses on the emotional journey that follows getting laid off. One thing that comes up often – even when you have a job – is how to talk about money with friends who want to spend more than you do. Socializing can be a minefield when you are cutting back!

To reduce spending, go over your budget again or attend a totally free swap meet.
