Ms. Jarrin said she wept as she drove away from her old life last month, wondering if she would ever be able to reclaim it.
Someone who can hang out for 99 weeks without making something happen probably doesn’t have the drive and imagination to make it in this new economy. She should marry a decent man and work at keeping him happy.
At the real risk of being called a male chauvinist pig, take a look at the picture in the NY Times article.
Get down to the marinas and start washing boats. The standard rate for boat cleaning is $3.50 per foot. You NEVER run out of clients.

There’s something very strange about a person working and also at her age going to school in NYC, losing a job, then moving to TN, giving up and then moving to VT. The article doesn’t say that she did any of this moving because of the prospects of a job....just moved on. Why not stay in one place? She has a car and can look for work by just driving around. She obviously isn’t accomplishing anything by staying in a motel and sending out resumes. She has three sons that are not in a position to help her? I would say she probably hasn’t been a responsible person as far as her sons are concerned. There are some people who just don’t settle down and think if they’re roaming, they are accomplishing something. Kinda like the man in the WH - because he’s talking, he thinks he’s accomplishing something.
I think everyone here can feel for this woman but I think I would stay in one place if I were her. It costs $$$$ she doesn’t have to move around the country and stay in motels without any prospects for work whatsoever. Why is there no one in her life who will do anything for her other than send her some unexpected $$$$? No friends/relatives with an extra bedroom willing to lend a hand for awhile?
I’m perplexed....
How do you set up recession marriage brokerages?
"She says none of her three adult sons are in a position to help her."
The woman is a loser all around, and apparently so are her three sons. Good luck to her finding a "decent man".
I wonder where the first one (or more) went?
This new economy is a lost middle class. I suppose you are right, she just needs to get used to living in poverty in what is quickly becoming a third world country.
She has three adult sons who are "not in positions to help her." My guess is that she doesn't make great choices in the man department.
