Off topic, slightly.
Not on unemployment, but disability.
When I got hurt, my income imploded by 2/3rds overnight--my bills did not. At the place I went for physical therapy, I knew of two patients who went into foreclosure and another who divorced.
I radically changed my lifestyle, Starbucks, before a daily thing, now a treat.
I could no longer afford my place near the beach, have had to move twice to get within limits. Some of my friends still in safe worlds have stepped away, as if I might spread something. The true ones remain.
I started back to school late last year, then had to drop out due to family matters. I am due to start in a week or so, and boy, what a time to attempt a career change.
