If you’ve been getting $800-$1100 a week from unemployment for the last 4 months, and you don’t have anything saved up and are now panicking because that extra $600 is about to end SUNDAY, that’s completely your fault.
Even if you put $250 of that money away a week for the last 18 weeks, you’d have $4,500 to work with until you went back to work or find a temporary job to make ends meet until your regular job brings you back in.
You also could’ve gotten a PT job this whole time, and you still would’ve gotten that $600 🤔 It wouldn’t have effected your unemployment.
Essential FRONT LINE workers have been working 5-6 days a week throughout this whole pandemic, watching you post pictures of hikes, adventures, cool stuff you bought, all while not seeing an extra dime!
So if you don’t have a penny in your savings, and you’ve been completely relying on that unemployment, welcome back to the real world. Everywhere is hiring. Lace up your boots, and welcome back to work!
just finding your posts. this one makes a great point. what are workers supposed to do with so many different sides squeezing them?
ReplyDeleteIt's a great questions. Sadly you see your answer with the many riots. In my view, people are so frustrated with no jobs, worried how to feed their families, etc. has reached a boiling point. This country need to focus on evolution and the concept of sharing and not on hoarding the wealth by the few.
