On the other end of the same coin, lies the lives of the unemployed. The one’s who will be declining dinner invites because they can’t afford a gift for everyone.

These are the guys that won't attend your bring and share lunches because they don’t have anything to bring along with them.

These unemployed people are currently reading this column, dreading December because even though they have every reason to have the opportunity to unwind just like everyone else, they can’t because they are too concerned about work and about the New Year that lies ahead.

Being unemployed unlocks a very different door to your brain. It brings you to a state of delusion whereby you constantly feel like you are stuck and there is no light in sight.
