I am sort of job hunting right now. I do not really want a job during the summer, but I have some feelers out getting ready for the fall when I want to start. And people are letting me know if a position becomes available that they think may be of interest to me. Yes, in this economy there actually are jobs available. Mostly part time, but jobs none the less.
Right now I am working a gig that has me go to the food bank and other venues that dole out free food to all those un- and under-employed folks out there. And there are many!
I'm starting to feel very guilty that I am looking for a part time job, not to survive off of, but to supplement my retirement and allow our family to have a nicer vacation. I mean, when we can pay our bills off of Bill's salary alone (and by no means do we live high on the hog, we have just made some frugal and wise financial decisions, and we are lucky with Bill's current job looking secure for now.) and many others are looking for work to feed their family or to keep a roof over their head ... I start to feel very guilt about taking away that paycheck from them.
I agree that we still have to keep making wise and frugal decisions, and you never know, Bill could loose that job tomorrow. But still ....
I'm feeling guilty. That is all I'm sayin'
