Ask HN: People who've been jobless for a while, what's keeping you going?

I lost my job sometime around May 2020, so it's been rather long since I've done anything for money. The job market is somewhat sparse, and it's a particularly tough slog this time round, but particularly because of the pandemic restricting travel and so on. Is anyone in a similar situation? What's keeping you motivated if you haven't just changed direction?

(If you have been traveling internationally and recreationally, probably best to keep that to yourself unless you've been taking advantage of places in very close proximity)
