Sorry to hear about this, here are a few thoughts and suggestions: * Look into getting onto your wife's health insurance - losing your job is a "qualifying event". * Spend some time networking - if you don't already have an account on LinkedIn get one and connect to technical recruiters and others who might be able to help you find work. There are plenty of folks posting there about layoffs at the moment, so you won't feel so alone. * Sign up for unemployment * Consider talking to your mortgage provider and ask them to make concessions on your payments for a while until you find something. * Try to reduce your expenses, cancel unnecessary monthly services and/or call them to try to reduce the monthly bill, explain your situation.
