When you take the extra words out, it sounds even more stupid.

Awesome.

I'm currently looking for work now but I really don't wanna eat into my savings. Because I was fired, I might not get unemployment. If I don't get unemployment, I think I'm gonna make getting a minimum wage job a priority (or something else low-paying) just so I can slow how fast I eat through my nest egg.

Nah, but personally I'd prefer something where I didn't have to deal with the public if I was in that situation.

There is a difference between getting fired and being laid off or let go. Depending on the state your reason for termination can factor into unemployment. Like if you get fired for being drunk at work it could prevent you from collecting.

You only get unemployment if your fired.

Having any job is better than no job. Being in your 40s and peaking at menial jobs says you probably wasted your life.

Getting laid off isn't the same as getting fired. A person can apply either way but if they are fired for breaking rules, the company can usually fight the claim and win.

I was let go because I was no longer a culture fit so I think there's a good chance I can still collect. Wasn't drunk at work or anything like that.

how long can you collect unemployment for? I know almost nothing about that stuff. And it's only a fraction of what you were making when you were working right?

What does "culture fit" mean? What kind of culture and was it a rightful termination?

Not sure in other states, but in CA you can get fired for sucking at your job and still get unemployment. It's no fault of yours for being bad at your job. You'll be denied unemployment if the company fires your for cause (stealing, fighting, sexual harassment) and can prove it.
