My cousin was retrenched from a $6,000 per month manager job. He tried looking for another job but found it difficult. So he decided to drive a cab and that allows him to earn $3,000 per month. His wife took up a part time job, earning $1,000 per month. They sold their 5 room flat, paid off the outstanding mortgage and bought a 3 room flat fully paid from the net receipt. They remain positive and happy. He could even send his kids to school everyday. Life goes on. I respect him for his positive attitude and willing to lower himself from a manager to a cabby.
