5. Bad times.
My brother (who I had not heard from in over 10 years) showed up out of work and in debt. He is now living with us. He was able to find work as a security guard pretty quickly but he works every single day for 4-7 hours so he has no benefits and has to work at least 5 hours extra before any overtime kicks in. He is 52 and exhausted, mostly from trying to figure out how he is ever going to get out of the situation he is in. At 52 he has no chance of ever retiring. At least he found a job.

Vent away, you are in good company. Sadly.
