5 WAYS OF SURVIVING AFTER A LOSING A JOB.
1. Draw up a plan
If you want to travel from point A
to point B, the first thing you do is
map out a route.
When you find yourself out of a
job, it’s important to do something
similar.
Consider where you are and
where you intend to go.
Much as this
may not be an enjoyable task, you’ll
need to take stock of your situation.
List your income, which includes:
- compensation from your employer
- any savings
- earnings from secondary sources or side hustles
- investments.
If you have been putting money aside for emergencies, losing your job counts as an emergency, so these funds will come in handy.
Ensure that your investments are in order just in case you fi nd yourself needing to cash in a hurry in the
future.
This means sorting out the
paperwork for plots, cars or shares.
Trying to follow up on a title deed
for a plot you bought years ago when
you’re short on time and desperate
can be frustrating, so get such things out
of the way early.
Identify other possible sources of income that you could tap into if the need arises,
such as soft loans from friends or family members, or savings from a chama.

It's never good to loss your job . Sometimes it's hard to except. However, when one door is closed many open. Sometimes it is for the better .
A few years ago I lost my job. I worked their for 12years . I had no idea where to turn to. So with the little money I received form my then boos I opened a coffee shop. At first it was fun . As time passed it was getting more and more difficult. At the time I needed the help of my Wife and kids as I could not afford staff. This meant that we would all leave home very early in the morning . My kids would go to school, while my wife and I would go to the coffee shop. After school my kids would come to the coffee shop and would help us . Day in and day out ,this would be our days.
I would see not much profit . All we did was live. After a year we had nothing to show for. It seemed like loosing my job was the worst thing ever.
Than ,after enquirers I found the job I am currently working at. This changed my life and more over my families live. Now I start work at 8 am and I am back home at 5pm. My wife and kids no longer work . Some days are difficult financially ,but nothing can be compared to a full days work at the coffee shop
For this I need to give thanks to the Almighty
Is really difficult
