Fact is, this has happened to thousands of people not just this guy.
Many are now working at jobs they would not have considered before because of the recession.
Sad state.
I have no worries though because Obama is going to make everything alright.Comment -

#7If you made 150k a year and didn't save a good portion of it than you deserve to be buried. Nothing is guranteed in this world. Guy probably bought a mercedes and found himself a whore to waste it all on. I don't feel bad at all.Comment -

#10Sinner is right.
I saw this coming a mile away. I made less than 1/3 of the guy in the story.
I started paying stuff off and saving like crazy. I could live off unemployment
and my 6 week severance, when that ran out, I used my savings. Found a job a little
more money than that guy. Still living tight, because my job is only a 6 month stint
with no benefits. I have no insurance and hope nothing happens 'til I get some.Comment -

He was making the money and lived accordingly.

#15No hate. Make hay while the sun is shining, put the hay in the barn when it's raining.
The guy had a "can't happen to me" attitude and it burnt him in the ass. A lot of people
got burned really bad with no safety net like your example. The only safety net those people have is through govt/ state programs the Repubs want to take away. Take them away when the economy is good, not when it's bad and can get worse.Comment -

#16Overpaying for shit you don't need is not living good. It's living stupid. Just because the public thinks its living good does not mean its the case. I beg to differ.Comment -

#17definitely did not plan well, that is his fault.
What you can give him props for is he took a job "beneath" him. Pathetic how many unemployed people will not get a job simply because their unemployment check pays "enough."Comment -

that $200 steak dinner ends up in the toilet just like a $5 dinner at arby's and both taste good and provide nourishment.
a $100 watch looks nice and works just as well as a $4000 watch.
etc etc
it's not as though the guy was making $1million/year and wanted to live the good life, he was making $150k. not bad by any stretch but come on, you should be able to save a big chunk of that. and you should be able to live off a $20k job with full benefits without dipping into the 401k.
at $20k you're not paying any taxes and probably get earned income credit.
so take home is $2k/month, that's enough for a single guy to live on no sweat.Comment -
