My husband is now starting month 6 of unemployment. I have more or less been able to keep up with the bills, but just barely. There is nothing left.
I’m starting to get scared because don’t know what we are going to do when his unemployment runs out.
He can apply for social security but we have to do it in person because of things like we cannot find his birth certificate. Other than me and the adult kids there are no living relatives on his side.
The problem is it will not start coming till after unemployment runs out and after they take out the $ for the medical that you must take, it will actually be less than unemployment. Yikes!
I am physically unable to work outside the home, but of course because I have not had insurance to go to doctor and have not worked last couple of years I cannot get social security disability.. believe me I tried. And my hubby’s unemployment disqualifies us for any other programs.
Would you like to tell me how $1100/mo is enough to live on (our rent is $975)
The kids help all they can, but out of 4 adults in our household only 1 has a full time job. It’s crazy out there.
So I continue to plug away as a rep for assorted companies and hope to bring in enough to offset the bills (so far so good)
Thanks for reading my rant.. I feel a little better now
