Not everyone mooches. Hubby was laid off in September. Because we've always been frugal and lived below our means, we're able to live on my salary. He thought about looking for another job, but after we weighed all the variables, it just didn't make sense for him to try to find a job just to work for the couple more years before retirement, and pay whopping taxes to boot. He's not getting unemployment. Next time you want to paint everyone who ended up out of the job market as a moocher, let's see your family take a two-thirds pay cut without warning, not take any government hand-outs, and see how you do.
I did not mean to offend you. Sorry.
