That's iffy, you might need to pick one, but "healthy" is also a pretty wildly varying thing and being able to work doesn't mean someone will give you work. Ya, maybe a temp agency will get you something if you're lucky, but then you also need to get rather lucky to get a place even if you can pay for it sometimes.
Sucks to say it, but if the majority of your work history is as a programmer and you fall on hard times, you're not at the top of any hiring list for a low-wage entry-level position.
