I’ll pick up on one piece, humbling ourselves to take a job we see as below us is hard. I’ve done it before and it was a huge ego hit. A friend who’s been unemployed for over a year is facing that now. It’s not an easy path.
And some income is often better than none.

I guess I have never seen a paying job as “below me”. Some jobs aren’t worth the pay, but that’s different imo. Cleaning up sewer overflow after a storm for $20/hr in 2010 wasn’t enough, but $40 sure was.
