So now we are at $1900. Assume they put their entire bonus towards student loans they will will still have at least $100 per month. Now they have no room for a $300 cut. Depending on state with the current $200 extra one will qualify for between 4-600 per week on unemployment, they will make just as much on unemployment without having to pay for crash pads while sitting on reserve.
