[the-dude]

I was already doing some side-project while employed and my contract was not renewed.

I took a 30% cut on my unemployment benefits so I had no obligation to find work for 6 months. After unemployment benefits ended, I tried to find a bit of investment and also did a KS. Both failed, so I started to eat a retirement plan I still had.

Then I applied for another 3.5 months employment benefits ( was my right ), and I simulated trying to find work.

Then it got really ugly and did some parttime barista work. Sold some belongings.
