The Unexpected Perks of Unemployment

We all know the disadvantages of being unemployed:  Reduced income for the household, searching for new employment, and looking for things to fill your time.  Also the Geico commercial with the camel doesn't have quite the same meaning - although it is still my favorite commercial and I crack up every time I see it.

There are, however, some unexpected perks of unemployment:

• You can go to the store at the times they are the least busy - and not only have the store to yourself, but a great parking spot.
• You can stay up as late as you want, and get up at whatever time you choose.
• You can do household chores at 2AM or 2PM, whenever the mood strikes.
• You don't have to worry about what you are going to wear to work the next day.
• You can be lax in the personal hygiene department (although I would not recommend it).
• Spend more time with family (especially nice if they live in Las Vegas and have a private pool).
• Most importantly, it gives you time to figure out and follow your dreams.

You are never too old, and it is never too late, to reinvent this great adventure called life.
