don't forget how expensive health insurance is once you are on Cobra... it gets damned expensive... probably $1200+ a month for a family....
That's what we pay -- and that's with a huge deductible. It sucks!

id be screwed. my boss pays my rent. moving into a new 2 bedroom apartment also in august, if i lost my job then id be screwed. but its all good.

so im saving about 12 to 1400 a month. his tenants moved out and rather give me his place then pay my rent to some other landlord

id have to move out into a new apartment, or back home into my parents basement and live off of unemployment till i found a new job. not long at all. im in a specialized field, and not many people can do what i do.

im 24 by the way
