How on earth do you pay 780 a month for a 2000 TA? Is that including insurance,etc? Even then that's crazy.

Thats gonna depend on your income from CHI but its still not going to give you that full amount. And obviously not going to factor in any of the extras you recieve. Do you pay for Wendi's car too?

And your not selling it, we'll figure something out.

You might just have to suck it up and move to the other place where everyone is going, until you find something.

what they do is look at your last 4 quarters of earnings. They take the two best quarters and use that in whatever formula they have to determine your unemployment benefit.
