I got laid off. I was on unemployment. We took a break and drove to visit family for a few days. I got email that state unemployment wanted me to come in the office to talk to one of the bureaucrats. I sent back that we could talk on the phone. The lady called me. (Thank God for cell phones, I was at the beach) Her questions were from a standard list. I met all the requirements. But then she got very concerned and asked what my last job entailed. I answered honestly “I design integrate circuits and my specialty is extremely low phase noise LC oscillators for programmable phase locked loop frequency synthesizers”. She took a long pause and said “Oh, okay. Keep looking.” I did but nobody wants to hire a 76 year old.
Funny note. I was dropping off mail at the post office last week and they had posters encouraging people to apply for work. The clerk wanted to give me an application. I said I am in my 80s. He said that is not a problem! I’d get a small van to deliver mail. I told him I refused to drive them right-hand English trucks…

It’s a good idea to go some place where you money goes further.
