I was able to come to an agreement this morning, after a horrible weekend of worry.

Some background: I am a web developer who was laid off right before COVID hit. After 20+ years in the business, no one wants to hire me. I'm either too old, or they think I will ask for too much money. Hundreds of resumes have been sent with no answers. I now work an hourly job(big box store) that is full time, but the pay stinks. I have at least three coworkers who are my age that are in the same boat.
