Well, depending on individual's living standard, not everyone is able to survive financially after being laid off. Taking into consideration of automotive loans and housing loans, if one is laid off, these will be seemingly too much to bear. Conversely, if you have a very low liability level and very little debts, it is possible to actually survived financially after being laid off.

There is a strategy to survive without income, though it is not a long term remedy. But it can at least last your for a fair bit before you find another job.

1. Savings - This is the most important aspect for being surviving financially. At least have cash that is equivalent to your 2 months of pay. This is not only to prepare for the unexpected but it also serves as a buffer for your breathe before you secure another job.

2. Investment - Well, it is good to have some sound investments which are of high liquidity like bonds and trust funds. You may also consider to buy some high dividend yielding and defensive security equity counters or stocks. This not only gives some capital increase, it also pays you periodically.

3. To have multiple income - Of late, there has been reports that people are actually earning through Paid-to-click (PTC) and Paid-to-read (PTR) programs. All it takes is to invest a considerable amount to secure some referrals and there you have it, additional income streams. Well, be sure to check the credibility of the sites before jumping in investing your money. Be prudent, made checks at forums and stay away from sites being alleged to be of fraudulent nature.

If you have the above mentioned in place, I am sure you would be able to sleep your unemployment period through before securing another job.
