What would you do if the main breadwinner in your home lost their job?
      05/01/2009 14:56

It's the prospect a lot of us are having to consider. Would it be a catastrophe?

Maybe you are financially prepared and feel confident you will ride the storm. It seems the divorce rate is set to rise as a result of the credit crunch. Would having no money be the last straw or the opportunity for you to pull together?

If you have been out of the workplace for some time, how would you feel about going back to work to supplement your income.

I got myself into serious debt during the last recession with a mortgage I could hardly afford to pay as the interest rate rose. I hope I will be okay in this recession but never say never. We would have to look at our position very carefully if my OH lost his job.

Hope you don't find this question too intrusive. It's not meant to be.
