I started out at 12 myself, delivering newspapers. Went on to make comfortable living until I could no longer work. June 26th 2014. I get 12,000 a year on MetLife disability because it was wrote into out UAW Union contract. Savings are gone, 401k gone, only have insurance through my wifes job but she has the bright idea that she is quitting. I guess we are both in the same boat but if there is going to be a divorce, I will start the process. I am just so sick of her blaming me almost dying twice, on me and all the meds I have to take to stay alive. I am at the point, that I just don`t care. I have no idea if 12000 is above or below the poverty level in Ohio or not. But, when I worked nothing but 12 hour days, 7 days a week, that was perfectly fine!!! Funny how that works, isn`t it??
