Not sure if I'm misreading this response, but unemployment is not a "government" check, it's insurance that people pay into in case of loss of job. It runs out. He's paid into the system for years and is now using his insurance. -Certainly off topic, that's for sure.

The government has bee backing up this system for the last 6 months for most unions. People that ran out of unemployment time got extensions from the government. Just stating my reasoning.........

 

i did that back in 2006/07 without unemployment for 3 monthes. but i wasent prepaired for it then. i didnt apply for it that yr either. this is the first time iv applyed for it. since i knew it was gona be a tough time to get a job, and it is, and still is.

yup. already doing that. iv been selling on ebay for 8yrs now. everything from lightbars, toys, led lights and so on. last yr i tryed to sell my camaro. iv also got a atv cover for sale i got new. but havent used it. along with a bumper for my popo, and the rotopax gas packs. but iv noteiced in the last 2yrs its been slow for somethings selling. i wont beable to live off of it. but its better than nothing. you can sell anything to anyone. im suprised some of the things iv sold have actuly SOLD. everything i have is for sale for the right price. 100% positive feedback.

iv been on unemployment for 1yr and 4 monthes. i have about 3 monthes left. before im done. think im on my last tier now. theres 6months of regular unemployment. and the rest is federal funded though the stumulis i beleve it is. but then i have no idea what im gona do. may have to buy a lawn mower and try to mow lawns this summer since it dont snow yr round. but last yr i did lawn spraying with the wheeler. i make more on plowing than spraying.

 

Chuck if you have any aspirations for doing IT or computer stuff. Pick up a good book on web design. Its really not that hard, I picked up a few things here and there and you could bang out the code and do some web pages for a nominal fee. Guarenteed one thing, ya make more money than cutting lawns! -- Just a thought!
