hehe, I think you have your parties muddled up. I am quite well off but I think that to 'project' from what worked for me in the past to some arbitrary rule that everybody that is out of a job should follow is arrogant in the extreme.
People are being laid off in droves (talented as wel as not so talented as well as those who were lucky to have a job) and it hurts them and their families for real.
Not everybody can move to chase the jobs and not everybody has a list of instantly monetizable pet projects on the shelf.
Nor do they have nest eggs. The fat cat bankers that caused this crisis are in a better position than they are and that is sad.
The articles suggestion is very misleading, see above (no point repeating my point in yet another comment) for a more realistic approach to getting out of this mess in one piece.
