Unemployed with Money - bum around sleep in go to beach.
Unemployed without money - stress about how to get a new job... and try to make EVERY cut you can & try to make EVERY dollar go further - might have had some experience with that....

It is DEEPLY satisfying to have a CLEAN freshly washed car.
So much smoke ash and very dirty rain over the weekend blowing in from the bushfires here in Victoria. So with calmer winds and clear skys. I can wash the car after work because of the Long Summer twighlight in Melbourne.
