How are you coping with unemployment?

It’s been now 8 months I’m unemployed, I have 12+ years experience in software and consulting industry I have 2 masters and yet still unable to get anything.

My question is how are you guys doing to survive without a job ? Financially how are you managing? Do you have any side hustle? What are you doing with your free time aside from mass applications and rejections ?

I have been running on my savings and what I’ve received during my layoff but now things are getting really tight.

Any advice? Any ideas for part-time jobs or anything?
