When I was working full time I was making $1515.00 a week plus full Med/Dent. With this Fed money added to what I'd get for "Unenjoyment" I'd take home $1350.

So glad I'm full retired and drawing $550 a week and don't qualify for that Fed money. I had been drawing off my IRA's till the bottom of the marked rotted out. Been paying my Cable TV, internet and cell phone with my Visa card. If the market does not come back up I'll have to take the loss just to pay my bills.
