Seeking employment

Strange how things work out. Three days after I began reading 48 Days to the Work You Love, I was informed the corporation I have worked at for the last 17 years no longer required my services. In the name of head count reductions I am back in the job market.

I view this as a good thing as it gives me the opportunity to find work that I really enjoy and hopefully accomplishes something other than the circle that is the corporate environment. With the severance package, it comes to about a six month cushion for me to find employment, I am optimistic I will be able to replace my job well before then.

Until then, the plan is to use a portion of the severance to kill a portion of the debt and save the rest, back to making minimum payments on the other debt. It was recommended I try to call the company I have the HELOC with and offer to settle for less with them now that I have lost my job, I will call them later this week.

Still on the road to debt freedom, just need to stop on this bench and rest a little.
