So the update on the situation with our dad retiring is basically this: He's already retired, but has agreed to give us part of his retirement money to help us out while we still look for jobs.

In the meantime, our mom has applied for Social Security to supplement that income, which should be coming soon. We're also using EBT Food Stamps, and reduced our TV bill by switching entirely to Roku streaming services instead of cable, which is much cheaper.

So things will be a little tight until we have a regular income, but I think we'll survive.
