I'm not counted as unemployed. I lost my job last September (house got wiped out by Ike at the same time). I'm a java programmer and I'm sixty, no way anyone is going to hire a 60 old programmer so I'm not looking. Instead I'm trying to make it to 62 so I can collect Social Security. Making money when and where I can. Living off of savings and spending as little as possible. Oh and the house is up for sale if anyone wants a little water front home (Galveston Bay) in Texas.
