I have always worked. My last job lasted 15 years and I was making close to $60K. I lost it because I couldn't keep up anymore. I think it was the drug cocktail I was on at the time. It could have been BP2/ADD/PTSD.... I don't know for sure. That was 4 years ago this month. I have been full-time caregiver for my daughter who has Cerebral Palsy for the last 3 of those years. It's a tough job but I like it. She keeps me busy. My wife works full-time and we get by.
