Retrenched during COVID period

I'm jobless and I am applying for work everywhere. Occasionally, I get the rare interview that doesn't go anywhere. I'm living off my savings, and trying to be as thrifty as possible. I got a part time job which helps, but a full-time job seems out of my reach. I can't sleep at night, worrying about where the next dollar is going to come from. 

What about the rest of you?

Im furloughed. Making ends meet by doing odd jobs and also delivering food here and there.

Its not much, but at least it's putting food on the table for my family.

I had a 20% salary cut since May. There is talk of retrenchment in my company. Keeping fingers crossed.

Keep your chin up. I know this wouldn't help, but it might be useful advice to anyone starting out early in their career.

I am in my late 30s and I have always saved my money. No house, no car, no debt.

Now I have a pot of savings to fall back upon.

A crisis is also an opportunity. I am thinking maybe it is a good time to start a business with my capital?
