I am 25 years old, have moved back into my childhood home, and am going to hit my four-month unemployment mark. And I am lucky.
How?
Because unlike many of my peers who are facing similar situations, I have been taken back in by my parents (thanks mom and pops!), which means I have been fortunate enough to be financially freed from using my unemployment checks on rent and food. And, since I do not have a family of my own to take care of, I am not perpetually juggling my finances to provide for others. Instead, I can use that money to pay for a health insurance plan, an expenditure that hopefully will help me remain healthy and provide access to facilities and resources when I'm not feeling my healthiest.
