Unemployed two years except for a 10 month contract job. I saved every cent, sold my McMansion and downsized into something I could pay cash for. My biggest expense is taxes, diesel, and food. I’m living on savings. I’d like to write for a living. I’ve put six novels on-line. (Here they are, if you’re interested.)
it’s getting me angry seeing all these freepers unemployed . the socialist government regulations and massive waves of 3rd world immigrants are taking jobs and opportunities for Americans

I hear ya! Been laid off for over 6 months and am having a very hard time finding any ‘decent’ job -being over 50 and no degree.
They don’t want older folks. I’m still plugging away at job searching, but like you, have been living off of savings.
The job search process has changed a LOT since I was younger. Some places require proof of health insurance to apply.
I sure miss the good old days when you walked into a place, filled out the application and they decided from there.
