My hubby lost his job at the same tIme. Remember the 99ers? He was one of them. Back then we thought this wouldn't last long and that 99 weeks of unemployment was just a bump on the road.

But now no matter his degree or experience, no one will hire him. He is 60 now and mass murderers and active Ebola patients get hired before he does.

Lucky for us we own a farm and I have a pension, so we are able to survive.
