One Paycheck Away from Disaster
I've been fired once, and laid off once. I was out of work from January 2011 until November 2012 after being fired from a financial institution shortly after New Year's Day due to several errors I made. I was lucky that the company was found to have not given me sufficient training and was thus awarded unemployment insurance in the amount of $430/week, for a year. In my previous job, I'd been earning $41,000/ year, living in an apartment with a rent of $950/month I had $16,000 in savings. In addition, that year, I got a tax refund of about $3,000.

Embrace Technology, Unleash Your Independence
Growing up, I loved technology, used it, but never saw myself as a technologically-talented individual. My favorite subjects in school were English, History, Social Studies, and Geography. I’ve always been comfortable with using a computer, but beyond doing research on the internet, producing word processing documents, and playing PC games, my confidence in my ability to play around with a computer was very limited. Everything changed for me in January, 2012.
