I’ve had two multi-month stretches of unemployment since the start of covid, and before that I was employed for 15+ years straight.

The “not working” part never got old. I am a chill person and a homebody so it was wonderful sometimes.

The part about not earning money, yeah that sucked. Living below our means for years made sure that the financial side wasn’t life-shattering, but it was still a huge hit.
