Reply #13: I am unemployed since September [View All]

[tandot]

I still have a little bit money "left" on my credit card. Bush is my role model: he already created a huge deficit and continues to borrow...so, this must be the correct way to do it.

My parents loaned me some money, which I find highly embarrassing. Well, at least I can pay rent for one more month.

I can't get unemployment benefits since it was my choice to move from Texas to California. My SO got a job in N California and there was no way I would have stayed behind. His parents paid the first month of rent and bought us some stuff to survive for a couple of weeks. His income is better than in Texas but not good enough to feed the both of us.

I am trying not to get too depressed, which is really hard...especially after November 3rd. I've applied to tons of temp agencies and companies here.

We cut down spending dramatically. I clip coupons and look at weekly ads for the best deals before I go grocery shopping. I don't buy expensive items like milk, steaks, or juice unless they are on sale.

We wouldn't be able to survive without the help of our families.
