I have not been gainfully employed since April of 2010. I job I got around Christmas time ended in failure by February, 2012. I was devastated.

I am no longer motivated. Right now, I am at the end of my financial resources. I tell myself that there is no "safety net" - other than the local homeless shelters - that are going to "catch me" when I fail to pay my rent. (I borrowed from a relative for next month, but I can't keep that up.)

If I were younger, I would be more willing to do the most menial labor to get by. Believe me, when I was younger, I did do that. I couldn't physically do what I once could do.

If you are young and able-bodied, it might be a thought to consider jobs that don't really require resumes. I am thinking of caretaking and housecleaning and waitressing.

If that seems just too depressing a prospect, I can't say I blame you. I feel the same way. Then, again, I didn't feel that way when I was young and healthy.
