$10,000 For Free
The title of this post is a bit misleading because the money I speak of is not completely free. It requires you to do a little work to earn it. Actually, I hesitate to use the word “work” because to collect the money you’re going to need to stop doing that - working. Don’t just stop showing up or stop doing your work at the office - getting fired won’t do the trick. You need to somehow convince your employer to let you go involuntarily and without cause. Once complete your $10,000 will be paid out to you in 26 weekly installments starting around 3 weeks after your last day of work.
*Note
$10,000 is specific to single residents of Illinois with no dependents who made above ~$42,000 in 2008. Here are the complete details for all of my fellow Illinois residents. For non-Illinois residents, please click here and look for your respective states details.
