Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Fortunately my wife and I have never been unemployed in our adult working lives of 34-36 years. We've also been big on personal responsibility, so we never planned to take unemployment benefits no matter what. My wife was laid off today. She has been expecting it, and so she has been looking for another job for over 2 months with no luck, so she is really unemployed for the first time ever. It will force us to reduce expenses, but we can get by for as long as necessary without her filing for unemployment. She has no intention of seeking unemployment benefits, but I thought it would be interesting to hear the various POV's that might come from this audience. What do you think?
