Got my first unemployment check yesterday. I pay into unemployment for 34 years never using it once and then when I need it it's not even enough to buy groceries for the family....what a joke! :cussing: I guess I won't be staying on unemployment any longer than I have to if I want to keep:thumb: the house payment and eat. :poke_eye:

I guess I will be out looking for a job today! :D

You're right about that Kevin, unemployment is a huge joke. Doesn't do sh*t for people who actually have something going on in their lives. Don't worry though, you'll be back to your normal 7 figure income soon.;) :thumb:

I thought unemployment insruance was only paid by the employer? I know in CA we pay into SDI, Sate Disabiliy Insurance, is that where the unemployment payment from our paycheck comes from?

Unemployment is paid by the Company... I got $386/week here in Vegas, not too bad considering I had a hell of a seperation package, summer off and got to watch Opra and drink all day.

They are just trying to put you in the upper middle class of the homeless people!

If you didn't include the fresh keg in your grocery bill you just might make it.:beerchug:
