Being unemployed is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



It's the lack of a paycheck thing that sucks.


BTW, start with the unemployment office FIRST, can take weeks to get started. (and your severance has to run out first), but get the claim in and running.

health insurance is the big problem. COBRA BLOWS. it's way expensive. BUT, there's a sweet little catch. You can always just pay your COBRA insurance in arrears. Meaning, you can go without for 3, 4, 5 months and if something happens, you just pay the 3,4,5 months worth of back dated premiums and you're covered. And if you get insurance/another job before COBRA runs out (18 months), and you haven't paid a dime.

After that, just get a catastrophic package so little things you have to pay for but maybe $100 or $200 a month if something big happens.


BTW, hit the doctors hard today, it probably runs out end of the month (today), they can usually squeeze you in for a physical whatever, as long as you explain what just happened.
