Unemployment Success

Without a salaried position since 1978, I have learned how to stay alive and interested. A major step was to migrate to a poor area that had a supply of abandoned homes. With an unemployment rate of 50%, there were plenty of sympathetic neighbors loaded with good advice. A certain degree of self-sufficiency is necessary. Growing one's food and having skills in the building trades are helpful. It is best to disconnect from governments, banks and utility companies. A net worth of zero puts one financially ahead of most of the employed population. The human race prospered for 4 millions of years without Starbucks.
If your nation lacks EFCA and single payer health insurance, I would advise leaving it at once.
