Unemployed Desperation
http://www.bls.gov/web/laumstrk.htm
As an unemployed adult, life went downhill fast. I am on a roller coaster ride to hell in a stock car race. I face many financial obstacles, specifically related to health care. I have doctor's offices filing my accounts with collection agencies. The family bills pile up. All I can do it ignore until I can pay. Take a damn number!
I am fortunate to find two health clinics that have a sliding scale that fits my budget. Obama is trying to provide better health care for this country. I can completely go psycho babble on some of the wrongs with health care, but I will save that for another blog.
My lavish lifestyle (which was still considered meager by the wealthy) was within my low excitibility. Although I did have many high dollar wants, those were just passing fancies. We always strive for the things that seem unattainable! I still try to live up to some of that style to dire consequences. I just cannot afford it. I do plenty of window shopping as I look for jobs.
I am a person in their thirties who have two associates degrees and a third almost complete. I am one of hte many who has to go outside of their skills and comfort zone to find a job. Not to say there isn't anything WRONG in working at a fast food restaurant. I have always thought of those jobs exclusively for retirees, high school students, and those who never graduated high school. I am not talking about the older generations who know what true hard labor is. My grandparents age (sixties & seventies & up) had hard choices. Some of those choices meant drop out of school to make money. There is no excuse for the younger generations!
People are taking fast food jobs while leaving the high school students and retirees in their dust. It's the desperation of the economy. I heard it is getting better. Well, mr-assholes-who-say-that, it ain't gonna get better until we all go back to work! I have advice for the rich and wealthy: send me some of your money because you don't need it! If not me, set up a fund for the unemployed!
People are getting desperate. We are turning to crime and easy cash. We sell our heirlooms, assets, and anything that will give us a few extra dollars in our pockets. We take and pilfer from people and places. We vandalize as we go and don't think to cover it up. For those that do, well, let's say they got caught anyway - stupid!
I have thoughts of what I could sell to put some cash in the family pocket. I have turned to some government programs that could help me. Many times have I failed to find relief. I find that karma is a good way to get your ass kicked. The best way is the honest way and it will come when you need it the most, not when you want it.
As one of the many of the desperately unemployed, I will take any job even if it is a fast food joint. I will put away my pride and find a way to earn a paycheck, not the unemployment line. Now it is time to start filling out those applications!
