Some folks thrive in the face of the unknown. Some don't. Especially when it comes to whether there will be another unemployment check -- or none at all. Especially people with overdue bills and those hoping not to become another foreclosure or eviction statistic.

Finally, finally, unemployment insurance has been extended. But what does that mean, exactly? For all my friends out there who are trying to transcribe the new legislation into late payments, the Christian Science Monitor has a great rundown of what, when, what's included and -- perhaps most important -- is it retroactive. To that last question, the answer is Y-E-S. (Although those on the rosters can say good-bye to the extra 25 bucks they saw each week as part of Obama's stimulus plan. 

What's next? How's about some turbo-speed job creation!
