What happens when you lose your job?

So what really happens to you and your family when you lose your job?
I thought I would be ok after getting laid off, but after all the holidays that have past us by, I don't feel so good now that Monday has arrived. I am all alone this Monday afternoon. There's no-one to talk to in the office, there's no-one to joke around with, the phones are not ringing off the hook and I don't have 10 people coming to me with questions looking for answers.
I miss the chaos, I miss my at work family, I miss the arguements, the laughter, the lunchens, the hanging in the office and just shooting the breeze.

You know, I have always wanted to have my own business, maybe that's what I will start to do. I will do alot of research on what business will be good for me. I really don't mind staying home, but I just need to do something, I need to make some extra money.

First you need to call the Unemployment line and open your case, the 2 weeks later you will need to call MARVIN, which stands for - Michigan Automated Response Voice Interactive Network. Then you have to wait another 2 days for your money to be either in your bank account of on the stupid Debit card that the unemployment issues to you. My family and I are not going to be able to just make it on $600.00 every 2 weeks. I need to come up with something fast. Maybe I should start a home business or maybe I should go back to the catering that I used to do.

How are you suppose to save money if everything you essentially need are too expensive!!
