What would you do

This is for entertainment purposes only- I'm bored and made this up.

Stephanie works for Company A- she makes $70,000 a year. Company A is in financial trouble and they decide to approach their employees and give them the option of taking a 50% pay cut- but keep all their benefits.

Lets say that on unemployment Stephanie will make about $500 less a month than if she works (including having to pay for health care).

So do you work or take unemployment?

still work i say. For one $500 less a month can make a big difference. That can be the extra money you need a month to help pay for bills, groceries, or even having a bit of extra cash to do things or put it towards savings. PLUS one big thing is that if you get healthcare on your own can be real pricey and alot of your unemployment money can end up going towards that. Unless she is married and can go under her husbands benefits.

But still, just the whole having a routine and doing something is good. Trust me it S*CKS lol
