One of my associate's (not a friend per se) is in his early 40s and was making great money as an accountant before he was laid off. He is now working for just about 1/3 of what he was making and has had to do some major life changing moves to stay in his house and so forth. But, he has a great attitude about it and says a bad day employed is better than a good day unemployed.
Best believe, though, he's out there looking still! But, now he won't have a gap.
