One thing the lady did (as mentioned in the followup article) is to start a business - while she was also working a part-time job. I often think this approach could be more "secure" than getting a job alone...

Actually, she's working two businesses - a pet-sitting business and getting some freelance writing work too - in addition to her part-time job...

Now, I'm not saying that everyone should start a pet-sitting business or become freelance writers! But it shows that - you can get yourself out of a "tough spot" - especially if you know a little bit about business...

I see business knowhow has an increasingly necessary "survival skill" in the world today. People's jobs have just become less and less secure as the years and decades go by... If you're in a job, the reality for most jobs is - you could be let go at any time. Having a "backup business" - even a part-time one - could make a big difference...

Anyway, that's my take on it!

Best wishes,
