person A: I've lost my job and am behind on my mortgage. It scares me that I could lose my home.
person B: That's awful_comma_ I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my job once as well and times got really hard. What kind of stuff are you doing to try and avoid that outcome?
person A: Thank you. I've been working odd and ends and am looking for a job that pays more of course. How did you overcome that time?
person B: Well_comma_ at the time I was holding out for a similar paying job like I had before but I could not find one and I ended up working fast food. I had to downsize my place as well.
