It’s hard though between my deafness and my back to find something I could do.

I don't have enough for SSDI and no disability to qualify anyway. I'm not even old enough to collect so decided not to research it. I'm not even old enough for a discount on bus fare. They keep touting "jobs, jobs, jobs" but there's only certain types of things I could do. And those aren't plentiful to say the least.

I can't stand/walk all day or even half a day, work/drive at night, or lift/move heavy stuff. It has to be in person, not "remote" as I don't have the technology and that's only for certain work as well. With these new strain of COVID, I don't see a lot of indoor positions like before.

If I wasn't old enough to collect from my IRA I don't know what I would have done or what would have happened.
