My sister, who lives in San Diego, has been without a real job (she's an RN) for almost 3 years. She's been fighting a lot of personal demons, but she's slowly getting them under control. She had an interview this morning, for a full time nursing position, with benefits (that's the WHOOPEE part!!!)
She hasn't really discussed with family, how she's been supporting herself and her kitty for the last 3 years. She says she's been doing a little per diem work for a nursing registry. My guess is that she's been cashing in her retirement fund (she's 47, and been putting money away since she was in her early 20's.)

Now, I realize that this might seem rather trivial to some, but to my parents and I, this is HUGE!

She says that she thinks that the interview went well. Please send some vibes that she gets the job. I would really like to find her gainfully employed, with medical benefits, soon!!! Then, maybe, I could worry a little less about her!

Thanks!

I understand where she is coming from. I've had to cash in my 401k before b/c we were so broke.
I have $$ in a 401k from my last job and we're about to cash it again b/c I can't find a job.

I hope she gets the job and gets back on her feet!
