For all of you that knew about the round of layoffs going on at my employer, I’m safe.

I found out on Thursday afternoon that I am not one of the chosen ones… It really makes you re-evaluate life and all the things that you take for granted everyday when all of a sudden your “solid” job is in jeopardy…

I made a few decisions about my spending habits and decided to do a few things over the last month that I had been sitting on the fence about for awhile now, such as expanding services in my own company, Internet Wonders, and take a look at some investment properties and find other ways to generate “passive” income that doesn’t depend on the decisions of a big corporation for my livelyhood.

Diversification is key. You always hear about when you invest in the stock market to not “put all your eggs in the same basket”. Why not do the same with the income you have coming in? To me that is almost more risky than depending on one stock for your portfolio.

I would recommend everyone go out and evaluate your life and your dependency on your job, cause someday everybody gets fired…

Now back to work as scheduled…
