I lost my job as a software engineer at an auto parts manufacturer as the GM bankruptcy became imminent.

Rather than going on unemployment, I contacted former associates to offer my services for contract work. I signed up with an online marketplace to make new contacts.

In a matter of weeks I was busy.

The first year and a half, income was very low, but last year I was able to start making progress against the debt acquired during the start.

Though I'm not yet up to the income I had as an employee, the unparalleled flexibility has been extremely helpful for the family.
