Unemployment for any adult can mess up your peace. Being unable to pay off bills, house yourself, meet your needs or wants, show up because you have no transport, unable to support anyone because you can't afford to contribute, unable to treat yourself to a good time because there is no income coming or any expected is bad.
Get what you can and work your way around it. Meeting a few needs is better than failing to meet any.
A salary of 500k in this economy?? You are better off unemployed!
