If you lost your job today, for how long could you go without - Mustang Forum

El Immigrante · 07-02-2012, 10:47 PM

Another job before you were to end up in financial trouble?

Cloud · 07-02-2012, 10:48 PM

About a year

SilverPony2001 · 07-02-2012, 10:50 PM

I would just have to shoot myself.

Could you afford bullets?

Sweetriverphil · 07-02-2012, 11:07 PM

6 to 8 hours.

Assuming I didn't get really sick or I still had health insurance, probably a couple of decades. If I move to a 3rd world country, then I could probably retire right now.

Brian Warrior · 07-03-2012, 12:05 AM

Two weeks

3 years.

MustangMaggot · 07-03-2012, 02:33 AM

Couple years maybe.

Intimidator · 07-03-2012, 02:38 AM

Two years at the current standard of living. Four to six years if I had to tighten up the budget.

Mishkin · 07-03-2012, 02:47 AM

what job?

AutumnOrangeGT · 07-03-2012, 03:12 AM

How long with or without unemployment?

What I have in savings + an additional $600 in unemployment would stretch it out for a while..

I'd likely run down to the local best buy or microcenter and get a job before collecting though

jpetre · 07-03-2012, 03:31 AM

8 months with cash on hand but if I dug into retirement funds probably a few years, close to 5.

Hackker · 07-03-2012, 03:45 AM

Pretty much indefinitely if I cut back on travel and spending $$$.

wxmyjnsn · 07-03-2012, 03:55 AM

I haven't had a "real" job since march of 09

I have been substitute teaching and went back to school to get my teaching license. Now I am hunting a full time teaching position. Not having any success so I suspect I will be subbing again this school year

uwood78 · 07-03-2012, 04:38 AM

About 30 minutes

Nah. Probably about a year

JJ_Jonathon · 07-03-2012, 04:51 AM

2-3 months probably.

Yeah, but being from Ohio - it'll come down to either them going to truck, clown, or barber college. And those are all pretty cheap.

I've got to FB friend her.

LUCC · 07-03-2012, 05:37 AM

All depends, if just what I have in my bank account (checking/savings) about 6-8 months. If using investments/bank accounts/etc. several years. I would probably sell the house and move into my parents house if I lost my job, we were planning on doing that anyway and perhaps buying my parents house.

Don't tell beanbat.

I've got a couple months. If you include pto I could use... Maybe 4+

FWP! · 07-03-2012, 05:53 AM

2-3 months, then I'd have to really start pushing photography which is 'taking off.' I'm hoping to leave my current job this winter.

Matador · 07-03-2012, 06:21 AM

I would flip burgers at Wendy's before I dipped into savings

'99Cobra · 07-03-2012, 06:27 AM

I'd have to sell some rental property where my money is tied up, but easily over a year.

I could probably do 2 but that would be really stretching it.
