How does we deal with unemployment

Two days ago I was hearing some convesation from my wife with a dear friend of her and they was talking about the husband of my wife's fiend who loose his job, he is an engineer and a month ago he went fired because of the world's economic situation, and now they are using them saves and the money that the company gave him when fired him to live from, she was so worry because the daily costs are still running and no new incomes are happen, but also she was upset about her husband attitude, she was complaining about her husband just set at front of them computer and stay the whole day surfing on internet and she is taking care of the daily activities as buy groceries, take the boys at them schools, etc., and she was (and is) expectig from him to help her with this kind of activities, as well as look for anhother new job, but he persist on his attitude and get mad if she tell him something.
So I stop to paying attention at that point of the conversation and began to think about it, I remember me and others frinds who passed out for the same situation or situation such that were no money came in, and there was to stuffs to pay, a lot of us under this kind of situation, do not know how to deal with it, and we do the following thinks:
1.- First we are worry but we try to convice ourself that every thing is ok and we are going to find something soon in order to back to the confort zone that we had.
2.- We send curriculums and stay looking for some job like the one that we had, as minimum the amount that we used to earn and in some cases we are in the position to not accept less than that.
3.- We look at newspaper and trough internet job finders a perfect job for us.
4.- As well as the days are passing we start to pay attencion to the inner pernicius voice telling us that we won't going to find what we are looking for because we worth less, and we try to fight this little voice, and we start to get in our inner cave and as the exterior pressure of all the compromises that we had hurrying us we became desperate and start to find out a faster and magical solution to get out of the dark hole that we create.
5.- we call friends to tell them that if they have something for us don't forget to call us back that we are going to be waiting.
6.- We don't talk about what we feel with no one even with our wife and the family environment became to tense the air feel as solid than may be you could take a slice with a knive.
7.- And as our wife don't know what is going on in our mind, she think that we are taking the thinks so easy and that we are pretty comfortable that we like to be in the way that we are, and nothing else care, but at this point that could take some weeks or even months we may be are so freak that we look like a stone with out any movement and she is pushing us to move with out understand what is happening to us, and we get mad of everything because we think that she is a witch that do not undestand us and don't appreciate all what we did in the past.
8.-and is just when we change our mind and start to think positive an act, looking hard, knoking doors with attitud to get what is going to came that opportunities arrive again to us.

what do you think?
