More and more people have been kicked off the rolls.

I was kicked off the rolls 4 times in one year. Never did get ANYWHERE near 52 weeks of unemployment, let alone “99” weeks.

Then again, I’m white.

Still out. Still putting in applications.

FUBO

And I've dropped the price I'm asking for the Brookly Bridge. LOL! Anyone who actually believes this garbage the way the "media" does is an idiot.

It’s always “down” before it’s up.

Get ready for all the “BOOMING” economy stories from now until election day, just like when Obama was running in 2012, all to be quietly revised downward in December....

I don’t know who got these wildly extended unemployment entitlements that freepers are always crabbing about. My husband had the benefits for less than a year. He’s still out; he’s still putting in applications. White, executive material, 62 years old.

Good news! The clinic in Nigeria where Ebola broke out is reporting no deaths in the clinic, which closed 2 months ago. This proves that the Ebola pandemic is petering out! Let your heart not be troubled!

The government even stopped letting me file my unemployment status even with me knowing/accepting that no more checks would be coming.

This bit that “people have stopped looking” is a dirty lie.

They don’t want accurate figures.

My 401k savings are almost depleted.

Has your husband put in for early SS?

Fortunately, I'm employed, but plan to take early SS in two years when I hit 62. I'm just tired of the BS, and I work with great people.

They've got accurate figures, they just don't report them.

Yes, he has. Of course, that doesn’t pay many bills!

I’m very sorry to hear that. So sorry. I’m the one with the 401 but I’m not near retirement age. I’m not going to break it and take a huge loss. We live in interesting times.

I’m not near retirement age either. I’ve had to pay the 10% penalty and taxes on top of that.

Just remember when things get tough - you are not alone. People just don’t talk much about their troubles...
