\"40k<\/a>My name is Tara, I’m 39, single, and I currently live in Ellicott City, Maryland.<\/p>\n

I used to work as a Linux Systems Administrator making a six-figure income<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I lost my job.<\/p>\n

I remained unemployed for 18 months, but now I work in marketing with a salary of just $35,000 per year.<\/p>\n

Coping with the Loss of a High-Paying Job<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I got laid off, I withdrew $5000 from my 401k — but that only put $3000 in my pocket after paying the taxes (blah!). I also immediately signed up for unemployment benefits, which pretty much covered my basic living expenses. When my unemployment extension ran out I began tapping into my savings.<\/p>\n

That’s when it got really hard.<\/p>\n

Nobody was hiring — and the expensive large loft overlooking Baltimore that I was living in was rapidly eating up my savings, so I moved into smaller suburban digs with a roommate. Losing the loft was especially tough on me; living in a warehouse was a dream of mine and I had spent lots of money renovating<\/a> it before I was laid off.<\/p>\n

\"40k<\/a>

The view of Baltimore from a renovated warehouse loft where Tara used to live before she was laid off.<\/p><\/div>\n

Eventually, I was down to my last $1000 when a friend asked me to do some temporary consultant work for $50 per hour! Thank God for being techy!<\/p>\n

So how did I cope? It’s funny; early one morning, not long after I lost my job, I was looking out my window overlooking the city, watching Baltimoreans scurrying around to get to their jobs and what not. That’s when I had an epiphany: Yes, it’s great to make money, but it’s all temporary — and for what?! Things that we don’t really need — most of the time. All that really mattered was that Jesus died for me and my life was in His hands and that I didn’t need to worry about my future, or present situation.<\/p>\n

While I was unemployed, I tried to live like nothing bad happened. Rather than lamenting what I had lost, I focused on online marketing because I knew it was possible to make a decent passive income<\/a> there! So I spent every day hustling online: learning, trying techniques, applying for jobs and working my butt off more than when I had a “job.” And then I spent my evenings with friends to avoid becoming a recluse.<\/p>\n

Of course, I had a couple of breakdowns along the way, wallowing in tears and anxiety, but they didn’t last long and I was able to regain my hope and focus quickly.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I’ve always been financially responsible; it’s one reason why I never ran out of money while I was unemployed.<\/p>\n

Expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n

I now share a condo with my roommate. My new bedroom is smaller than my old loft bathroom, so almost everything I have is now squished in this tiny room — but at least the rent is affordable!<\/p>\n

\"40k<\/a>It also helps that I don’t have a car payment. I drive a 2009 Toyota Corolla, which I bought brand new.<\/p>\n

I used to stick to a strict budget. However, after I started making a lot of cash, I stopped thinking about the budget and looking at prices. Unfortunately, now that I don’t make a lot of money again, I’m still trying to adjust. At the moment, I have no budget<\/a> in place. I just try to make sure that I pay all my bills as soon as I get paid.<\/p>\n

I don’t like to shop, which helps keep my discretionary expenses down.<\/p>\n

In my free time I hustle, spend time with friends, and meet new people. I also enjoy helping people with their business’s online presence.<\/p>\n

Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not saving for anything special at the moment, but I’m dreaming. I have an emergency fund that’s got about $2000 in it.<\/p>\n

As for my retirement savings, I have $10,000 left in the 401k<\/a> from my previous employer and I currently contribute 1% of my pay into my new 401k retirement plan.<\/p>\n

Closing Tips and Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n

I try to keep focused on the things that matter and what I have. I’m not concerned with the latest fashions or trends. I don’t normally buy clothes. If I do, I keep it to single digit price tags. I refuse to spend double digits for clothes. I eat very simply when I’m home, usually rice and eggs with a glass of water. Sometimes I’ll buy more, but rice and eggs usually keeps me happy. I eat better when I go out with friends; that’s when I splurge a little<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other than that, I just don’t spend a lot outside of going out with friends.<\/p>\n

Looking back, going from a six-figure salary to $35,000 was quite an adjustment. But over time, learning to live on the lower income taught me that the old saying “money doesn’t buy happiness<\/a>” is so true!<\/p>\n

And after everything I’ve gone through lately, I like myself a lot better now too.<\/p>\n
