Hosting Guests During Unemployment

One of the reasons that I took a break from blogging over the holiday season was that I had family in town.  It is a really good idea to host guests at your home during unemployment for the following reasons:


1.  Save money
You'll definitely save money compared to traveling to visit family and friends.  By staying home you eliminate travel, accommodation, and other associated expenses.

2.  You have time to be a great host
Because you don't have a job, you'll have more to be a great host.  You can plan an itinerary and spend time taking your guests out sightseeing, shopping, eating, drinking, etc.  If you're lucky (like I was) your guests may even pick up the tab for the eating and drinking part!

3.  Reconnect with friends and family
The time you spend with your guests is a to focus on what's really important in your life (i.e. positive personal relationships) and get your mind off your unemployed status.

4.  Advice
Friends and family may be able to provide some fresh ideas to help improve your situation.  They may be able to suggest business ideas, prospective employers, or simply provide you encouragement.
