Recession Marriage Trend: Living Apart

One of the things my wife and I have to consider is the possibility of living apart for a while. I would take a job in another city or state while she would stay with my daughter and house until we can either sell the house or lease it.

7 Months and Still Unemployed

I have been unemployed for just a little over 7 months. It has been tough. I had to file for an emergency extention of my unemployment. I have another 13 weeks of unemployment.

I am not bitter about this part of my life. I have had time to volunteer and to be a better father and husband to my family. When you get laid off, it forces you to review everything in your life.

Wall Street appears poised to suffer a triple-digit selloff at Thursday's opening bell as the markets worry about the implications of a new economic report that showed the U.S. lost a worse-than-expected 467,000 jobs in June.

Unemployment is at the highest level since August 1983.
