I got through my entire career never collecting unemployment, right to the very end. When I did, it was like cashing out. Mercy, it was a lot of money.
Nice.
Not everyone is so lucky, however.
It’s unfortunate that we’re now past the age, where honest hard work and dedication, in and of themselves, were enough to get by on. Unfortunately, luck, as well as an ability of finding and being in the right place at the right time are now also part of that equation.
