What keeps me going is I need to find something else that I can do on the side so that I'm prepared for the next layoff.  

And I hope that GM plant layoff won't hurt the London market. 600 jobs is bad.

I am a licensed electrician and am so tired of layoffs.

(oil prices low and layoffs)List price vs. sale price is now diverging.

The buyers found financing companies willing to finance them without credit checks (companies clearly looking to go bankrupt and have layoffs!). 

That way I can leave my job before the lay-offs happen and create enough wealth to have the time to do the things I enjoy. 

Some of out largest coal producers had filed bankruptcy, and even in small Wyoming towns like Gillette we had layoffs of over 500 people by just one company in just one round of layoffs.These were very high paying jobs and nearly every worker owned his own home. 

The breakdown would be like this,$50,000 sale price $5,000 Government incentive Mortgage $45,000Monthly P & I @ 5.5% for 30 years - $256Taxes - $100Insurance - $80Total monthly payment - $436If they rented the same house, it would have been $550-600Their monthly salary (After layoff) is $1,87933% of that is $625They are much better off buying!

Then I got zapped by the next big layoff.

You will see more MH finance companies trying to sell used MH that they hold the paper on.When you have Halliburton and Baker Hugh's lay off over 8,000 employees in Texas because of the price of oil be mindful of that.
