They get a job. We watched a family member wait out to the very end of benefits before getting a job ... it ended, they got a job.
that’s very common.. they cut back and decide they really like the lifestyle... then when the money runs out they find something...
I moved...that’s how I handled it. I never found a decent job in Detroit and I tried and tried.. finally gave up at age 35 and joined the corporate world here in Los Angeles. I’ve been here since 1985.
