On Reno & San Francisco TV stations a couple of days ago:
Hispanic (?) mom of 3—oldest 21— laid off from hotel housekeeping job due to virus.
Now iving with sister...all 4 in one bedroom...no rent...probably no utilities......
She gets $400 a week as her unemployment, which may represent 2/3 of her regular paycheck.
Add the #600 more bonus on top of that.
She was loudly complaining that the 4 of them COULD NOT LIVE ON ANYTHING LESS than that $1000 a WEEK....and she has very limited overhead.
I live near people who are on Soc Security & get less than $800 a MONTH.
She needs a complete revamp of her budget. She is spending FAR too much $$$ somewhere.
