All registered for unemployment and have discovered my memory has been playing tricks on me. The amount is even less than I remembered.
I've been doing sums and after taking out money for telephone, electricity, rent, cat food and kitty litter, I think I am left with about thirty dollars a week to buy food, toilet paper and stuff with. I have no idea how people survive on unemployment for any length of time.
Still - I've been meaning to lose weight for ages.
Probably this is a godsend, ey?
I should quit turning the lights on?
Maybe turn the television off all together?
(except for Dr Who of course - missed last weeks episode cause was at nieces mid-year drama show - niece had lots of lines - got to say 1001 cockroaches)
My telephone is paid for July, but I think I shall get it cut off after that and make do with my crap mobile. *sigh* I shall miss my landline. It doesn't feel like a real house without a wall phone hanging near the kitchen.
It's virtually impossible to survive on unemployment alone as a single person.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and here's wishing that you find something soon.
I just wish I could continue in my frugal ways once I do find work. I'd love to be able to save up some money, but the minute I have income again I shall be out buying books and eating breakfast out again - sigh - I am a slave to my bad habits :)
