Happened to me many, many years ago. I was selling software and got laid off because I told the owner off, (but that's another story).

I put a magnetic sign on my truck and started advertising in the local weekly papers. Spring cleanup, yard work. Well I got a couple of jobs and while on those jobs, I started getting work from other people in the neighborhoods where I was doing a cleanup. "I need a window replaced. Can you replace some shingles on my roof?"

Fortunately I am real handy and have done just about everything, including building an addition and garage by myself so within 2 months I had more work than I could handle.

Keep the faith man. Just get up everyday and try to think of a new way to make money.

No boat, back in the suds.
