Is it supposed to cover long enough for the adult to get a job? But then there's child care? - Max Aug 1, 18:58 3

  - A new cop show, "Will Trent" is really good. It's on Hulu. - Krusty Aug 1, 19:11 1
    - I quite liked this. I think this is what started me workwatcching cops, actually. -- nm - mandy on home machine Aug 1, 19:18
I guess it depends on whether she had any funds apart from the $20k. But I can't see less than $50k giving someone - TWuG Aug 1, 18:57 3
- that's a great point. maybe the metric is "three years comfortable expenses in new town." I suppose it makes a difference how much one makes? - mandy on home machine Aug 1, 19:03 1
  - If it's 3 years then I say at least $200k to start over from scratch. -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 19:13
- Yeah, and the kid really changes things. -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 18:58
That much? I would expect $200 and a bus ticket -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 1, 18:54 1
- 312.50 -- nm - Spawn Aug 1, 18:55
