Don't hide from your frequent comments, cowards.
This is just a very small fraction of what "unemployment" to you looks like. I was running out of space in order for the picture view to capture all of them (not to mention my arm getting tired stacking them), but I laid out just under $14,000 in cash that I just have around the house. The wad in the middle is exactly $20,000. So, in cash, I managed to find about $34,000 around the house. Of course, a person would be a fool to have $34k in cash around the house if they didn't have much more put away earning interest even if in a simple savings account. Can you imagine how much I have put away elsewhere earning money for me?
But, why stop there. As I mentioned about being lazy doing daily chores, here is a picture of checks I have (clearly made out to me) that I have 180 days to deposit. As you can see from the picture of the back of the checks, they haven't been signed yet, so they couldn't have been deposited yet. The checks total over $33,000 that I haven't even deposited. I have another stack from January and February that I need to deposit by the end of June.
In total, that is almost $70,000 that I haven't even bothered doing anything with for months. Having "worked" only 4 months out of the last 2.5 years really has taken its toll on me.
Being "unemployed" sucks:
