Some are lucky enough to have a spouse that makes good money. Unemployment should be able to cover basic expenses.
Unemployment will cover mortgage, car payment, childcare while you work mowing lawns, food, insurance that you just lost?? Let me guess, you’ll tell us to sell our car, refinance our home, sell the kids into indentured servitude... what else?
As feta said, this is just more useless and unwarranted advice from people not staring down unemployment.
