I have too much pride, I left my home I bought new 19 years ago in Minnesota and took a job in Oklahoma and am paying 2 monthly payments for abode.

I'm a true conservative at heart.

Earn it or don't spend it without just compensation to the giver.

Sorry to hear about your husband. I was layed off in January, my wife a week later. If you include the COBRA subsidy in the stimulus package we've been getting over 5k a month from obumber every sinse. Now it looks like that is going to continue another 3 months, in February that will make it over 60k for a year. That's assuming the additional 13 weeks for stated under 8.5% unemployment.

Am I proud? well lets just say that if we are going to be divided into those that pay and those that get free money. I am all to happy to be on the receiving end.

No doubt your husband had unemployment taxes taken from his salary every single week he worked.

The employer had no problem taking it from his paycheck, so it should be just as easy to collect when you are fired.

The first time I was laid off back in 95 I tried to get unemployment. I had to jump through so many hoops it didn’t even seem worth it, considering I was 18 at the time and lived with my parents. I had to have 3 interviews a week and report to the office and stuff. Do you even have to pretend you’re looking for a job anymore?
