Occupy: sleeping in our storage locker

[Trek420]

I can't imagine trying to find work in your 50s after a couple of years without a job. And he does volunteer work. He does a few free lance jobs here and there. But not enough to live on in California.

Good for your BIL for volunteering. Sharpens skills, keeps him current, gives him networking opportunities (you never know who you will meet), probably makes him feel pretty good making a difference.

Bet he'll be one of those who land on their feet. But I worry a huge numbers, even entire cities might never fully recover from this.
