Totally this. I feel bad for the other folks but it's good that you can still feed yourself...

Trust me I know the feeling, I work in the Building Supply Industry we went from 300 stores to 79 over the last 2 years. Austin alone lost over 300 employees and we were still doing lay-offs as recent as Oct 31. As much as I hate to see friends lose their job I'd rather it be them than me. Call it selfish or whatever you want but I have a mortgage to pay too...
