Truth! I got laid off from a $20/hour job and most jobs around here are for $12 max. My unemployment is $405 plus the fact that I don't have the expense of working and a couple payments are made because of ins coverage. Heck, I'm better off in a lot of ways... It's weird!

Fuck a stranger or give your self a "stranger."
I would get off of unemployement as soon as possible. They hold that against you when you retire and claim on your social security checks. |

I still can't find enough time to do everything! I just got an extension for 7 more months after being unemployed for 6, and then after that the Federal state benefits kick in. What do i do all day long? I go out and play. Hang out at the parks, hiking, working out, rode when it was still cool enough, go away for the weekends, do a lot of stuff i wanted to do but couldn't due to time constraints of working and chores on the weekend. I decided to get a 2nd degree. Always wanted to go back to school for nursing but between taking care of my dad and then paying bills after he passed, i didn't have the time. So now its a lot of studying. Plus lots of extracurricular reading- everything under the sun. Making plans to start another business. When school ends next week, i'll have 3 weeks of free time before the fall semester, so i'll try to start learning a new language. Though my expenses are low so i can live off unemployment, the only thing i don't have is extra money to travel more. So much to do, so little time! I fee like i have been given the gift of time! Enjoy your time off Fleck! |

It's not like any of us are going to see any of that SS money we've been paying into all our lives when we're old enough....it will all be pissed away by then.

Plus with our wonderful socialized healthcare coming along we'll all die at 50 anyways.
