A friend's right wing jerk of a husband called me a freeloader off American's money. But, I am on SSDI meaning I paid into the freaking system for 20 years!! Just to shut him up I told him I had the education and background potential to clear 6 figures a year so why would I choose disability?

Another ex-friend told me "some of us have to work for a living." That is why he is my EX friend.

I hate the question, "What do you do?" I usually list the last job I left and say I'm looking for a PT low stress job at the moment. And, never tell anyone why you're on disability. It is none of their biz and HIPPA laws protect your right to keep it a secret. People are so damn nosey.
