pissed offI had a 20-minute commute from Brooklyn, medical, dental and a 401K. I also freelanced on the side, because you never know...In late 2008, the company started to cut back, gone were the free breakfast platters every Friday morning. The Holiday Party got nixed, too. I got laid off in March 2009 and have been collecting unemployment ever since, longer than 99 weeks...
The money I get from my Web Clients doesn't cover all of my bills, only rent...When my COBRA ended in September; I got a Sole Proprietor Plan with Oxford. Having to pay for my own Health Insurance has stretched my budget to the max; I have a $50.00 co-pay for doctors visits; consequently, I've been forced to postpone some appointments.
I've been very frugal. I used to go out to dinner and to the movies a few times a month. Now I go once or twice, if I'm lucky...
I don't care what the media says the Great Recession is actually a Depression that's been raging for three long years...
