You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

I'll have to stop reading nowReading these posts, looking for the upside and reading about so much doom and gloom, has left me feeling very despondent.
I just got made redundant on Monday after returning to work after my honeymoon. My hopes, dreams and plans for the future have now been put on hold indefinitely. I have a small payout that will keep me going for about a month but with unemployment at an all-time high and job vacancies at an all-time low I hold little hope that I'll find something soon. My husband is self employed and earns enough to keep us going but on his sole wage we can't start a family or buy a new house like we'd planned. I know we'll get by, for now, but with the economic climate as it is, who knows if his business will survive.
Procrastinating by reading this QOTW is a Very Bad Idea. This is why I have to stop reading now, I'm getting more and more worried and depressed and my resolve to get back to work ASAP is slowly slipping away.
I'm off to find more work before I become dole-bludging scum...
See you in next week's question.
