You are 51, @
jesyka. 51 is still young. I am 52. You can still change your future social security award in significant ways. There are at least more than 10 years ahead. There are many things to learn. You can take classes. I am not familiar with this area, but maybe the Employment Development Department and local adult schools have free or nearly free courses where you can learn skills so that you could work in jobs that require skills, earning above minimum wage. I think you will live longer without dementia if you challenge yourself in coursework and on the job. At 51 you can still start a new career. As they say, fifties are the new forties. And forties are the new thirties, etc.
