I am sorry to hear that. Would you like to talk about anything specific?

So you're unemployed? I am sorry to hear that. Are you prepared to take jobs that are below your usual level just to get by for a while?
assistant

have tried that but don't even get an interview
user

It's a very difficult time to be out of work, I know. I hope that there is something out there for you. Have you tried employment agencies?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
yes, I do not qualify for unemployment because I have savings above the min threshold and I also have rental property, which is currently loss making and I can't sell it because it's 30% below market value
user

Well, on the plus side at least you do have savings .. hopefully this can give you some security for a while Are your family being supportive of your situation?
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance,Question
it's almost depleted, been out of work now for nearly 9 months but still can't get unemployment support because of the property that I cannot get rid off else I will declared bankrupt by the mortgage lender

Perhaps bankruptcy might not be a bad option? You would be eligible for some help then at least.

Reflection of feelings
very well put. seems i am being penalised for working hard, saving and investing? I should have been on more holidays and lived all the way above my means!
