Santelli's Chicago Tea Party

[fishdoggydog]

I lost my job in October but my house is NOT in trouble. I will say this, my unemployment checks only cover the cost of my health insurance, and all the property tax payments came out of savings. We set our budget up back in 2002 when the company I worked for lost 60% of the work to CHINA. We paid everything off and set aside a years worth of living expence. How did we do it, we didn't spend money that we made selling some property, we used it to create this safety net. I expect to work till I am 70, with or without an employer, I am not scared, but I am eating the squirrels that show up at the bird feeder, and that Fancy Feast cat food is starting to look OK on TV.
