My previous job they threw us all out in the street without warning. I am getting too old in my fifties to find crap jobs as easily to get by. Nobody would talk to me or even respond to my applications, the only way I found more work was by talking to people at a competitors who I had known in the past. It is very tough out there! My son does live on 10.00 an hour it is possible, his efficiency apartment is so very tiny, but I am proud of him for wanting to be independent. My area of the country is so depressed that housing is fairly cheap. I am not sure how someone can move out without a great job out East.

You brought up a great point about rent and location. I checked out some of my areas lowest rents: Wheaton has 1 bedroom apartment for $1540, $1119 and $1250 per month. NOTE: these apartments are in the mostly illegal section of my county. Crime is definitely an issue. Your neighbors in the apartment building won’t speak much English. Welcome to Maryland.... /s

Oops, I forgot to congratulate you on the job, dog breath. Kudos to you. I am very happy with everything you went through that you were able to find one. Sad but I am sure that anyone 50 and over has even a harder time finding a new job.
