1. Join a gym. Yeah yeah, so the monthly fee might be brutal — but those endorphins’ll alleviate the blow of being laid off and the stigma of being “unemployed.” And also, you’ll be able to stop those obnoxious biweekly drug store runs; just stuff some plastic bottles in your gym bag and save some of the gym’s shampoo, soap, etc. for later. If times are really tough, smuggle some TP too. The added bonus? The health club is a great place to meet that sweaty iBanking hottie who can fund your lavish [unemployed] lifestyle.

2. Babysit. We all know the age-old parting parental exit phrase, “Help yourself to anything in the fridge.” Well nowadays, assume that by “anything,” they meant everything. Once you tuck the rugrats into Dreamland, eat enough to ensure you’re satiated for a week.

3. Donate blood and/or plasma. Use the blood money to buy a six pack of Pabst. Surprise bonus? Your tolerance will be at an all-time low. CHA-CHING. Now that’s economical.
