What is the purpose of this report? Are we supposed to feel sorry for the couple? Be moved to extend unemployment benefits to those who are self-employed? To those who are retired? The self-employed know they won’t get unemployment benefits, why not put money aside for that eventuality? Since the couple are in their 60’s why not just collect Social Security? And if her husband is retired, why is it a surprise that they need to dip into their retirement account? Too many questions, not enough answers. What do you think?
