Follow on Google News | Single Parents - Unsung Heroes Of The Recession Job Market.Every time we look at television or listen to the radio, the main topic is job loss; bonuses being paid to top executives; gas, petrol and food prices increasing; cities and counties are near bankrupt; foreclosure on the rise and many more .
Here are some EJtips to help you stay on your feet: 1. Turn off the media (Television and Radio, unless you have satellite radio); select certain times of the day to watch television and listen to the radio. One day while needing some uplifting, I turned to the radio for some easy listening. The first three commercials were about credit card debt, home foreclosures and bankruptcy. Wow, I thought what a way to be uplifted! I know the media make money from advertisements; 2. If you are seeking employment, do not spend every waking moment searching for a job. I am not telling you to not look for employment, but take a break. Create a scheduled time four days a week when you will look for a job via online, telephone, in person and make certain, you include one of those days to follow up on the searches you applied to in the past few weeks. 3. Take time out for yourself. Do something that is inexpensive or free. Go to a bookstore and read a book; take a quiet moment to watch a good movie (comedy or drama), a walk in the park or a peaceful country drive. It is important to have that “me” time. Remember whenever, we are going through a difficult time in life, children are the first to pick up our vibes. You’ll want to keep your children’s lifestyle as normal as possible, but also inform them of the financial status of the household and world (only if they are old enough to understand). 4. Make your time with the child or children special. In lieu of going out for entertainment, create a game out of watching some of the old movies you have at home. Play games such as guess the next line or word while watching your favorite movie. This is the funniest suggestion I think I have: Have your teen teach you the latest dance (LOL). Try creating new meals with your children, something they really like to eat. 5. Use coupons. Swap coupons with your friends and family; they may have coupons that you need or you may have coupons that your family and friends can use. Coupons can save you a whole lot of money. 6. Family sales. Have a yard sale. As you begin to go through your home, there are things you probably have not used or worn in years. If you are not comfortable with having a yard sale, check with local churches or community organizations. Community yard sales are common and families can lease a table for a small fee. You pay the fee to the church or organization and all of the proceeds are yours to keep.
