Yes it’s very hard to save money when we both are on SSDI. We both hate it. But reality is neither of us could get a job and be able to keep one more than maybe a couple months.
I don’t think people really understand how almost impossible it is to live off SSDI.
Years ago a person on PC verbally attacked me for starting a thread about the SSDI and [emoji102] no for ideas to make things stretch and how difficult it is to survive on it. She ran off at the mouth about how I was so lucky to get “free money” and eating high off the hog on “food stamps” I was shocked. I responded that SSDI is not free money , it’s what I had paid into since I was 16 years old. I damn sure do not get food stamps and I’d love to shove my problems up her butt and see how much fun she had paying basic bills , I’ll admit I used some rather colorful language and did get scolded by a Mod but it was worth it. So many people jumped all over her she left the site. LOL
You didn’t say anything wrong friend ! Love ya  |
In response to your voiced concern about making ends meet, I'd written something like: you make good decisions and will be fine!
While you are very bright and do make great decisions, this does not earn you a better income. We can all be very bright, can make excellent decisions and resources can still fall short!
I do know. I had lived on disability pay only, while living alone, for many years.
it's brutal!
I'd often felt hopeless.
My heart goes out to anyone in this boat.
I will,again, be dealing with similar issues as the divorce moves forward and I will lose medical coverage, drug coverage, dental coverage, etc. It doesn't seem quite right that I'd be the one losing benefits.
yet, that's the way it's set up!!!
Much Love to You, ~Christina!
