16. Your Dating Life Is Dead In The Water
Dating is never as difficult as when you're out of a job. That isn't to say that love is contingent only on money - hell if that were the case, Donald Trump would be the most desirable human on the face of the Earth.

It's not exactly the most killer of lines to add, 'oh by the way, make sure the meal is under my JSA amount' to the atmosphere at a date. Do you offer to pay them back later and risk looking like a selfish opportunist? Do you go on the dates even though it will drain your checking balance to unholy levels? It's always difficult to stay out of the dating scene until you find yourself adequately moneyed. And if you find your true love just as you're suffering a financial crisis? Well, if they're really worth it, then they'll understand. Or you know, make it three months of Netflix dates and splitting the cheapest pizza place you can walk to. Either way's fine, really...
