Do you have ANY knowledge of unemployment? The most you can get from unemployment is 405 a week,-taxes, which is a decent amount of money. There is also a supplemental unemployment through my company and another thing I like to call “saving.” Unemployment is not robbing from the taxpayers… my company is a seasonal company and it pays out of the ass into unemployment insurance. So you take your unemployment, supp unemployment, savings, annualization check (which is about 1000 dollars) and your tax refund and you have a fair amount of money as long as your not a dope with it.

Another nice part about my job is that I stay out of town… so generally I’m only driving my car to and from work once a week and while I’m away I drive the company vehicle and receive 25 dollars a day (cash) for meals. I’ve found that when im out of town I don’t spend as much money. Lance and I have been bringing around a george foreman grill and making sandwiches… saving big money that way.

Through my company your health insurance is technically free. It never comes directly out of your pay check as well as the 401k.

I don’t plan on staying forever… but I know that if i ever need money I can come back and make decent money and have health insurance and some sort of reasonable retirement plan. You need to start planning ahead man.
