"…I am not unemployed, I'm on sabbatical."
"Hey, don't get religious on me, okay?"
So say Ross and Joey in one of my favorite episodes of Friends. I'm not going to lie, that episode was how I actually learned what the word "sabbatical" means. It's not that I am sheltered, uneducated, or not a dictionary-reading, word fanatic (because I am), it's just that words like "sabbatical" weren't used so often when that episode first aired.
This was in 1998, and oh what a difference thirteen years can make. Now it seems like everywhere I turn, someone is talking about how they are going through a "developmental retreat," or they are "temporarily unemployed," or, yes, "on sabbatical." Of course these all are pretty little euphemisms for one thing: being in between jobs.
Whether you've recently been laid off, or you've been "on sabbatical" for several weeks or even months, being in between jobs is nothing to be ashamed of. I mean, everyone is doing it, right? And with these eight simple time and money management tips, being in between jobs is nothing to be afraid of either. In fact, it might even be a good thing.
Do you have any tips for how to spend time and money in between jobs? Comment below!
