Living on disability kind of puts your wants and needs in perspective.
When I worked and had money I would buy things for the house, pictures, curtains, etc.
I didnt need them I just liked them and thought I had to have them.
Where are they now?? old and dusty and withered or left behind at some point in time.
My demands now are Food and Animal supplies. I have 9 cats.
Keeping my 2005 Dodge piece of junk running down the road.
And the Internet which is my window on the world.
I dont have a cell phone. And I have a hard time reading print nowadays.
And I left the tv a long time ago.
I do have a landline which keeps me in contact with my dad who graciously supplied me his old trailer to live in.
He pays for the utilities and the taxes.
He won't charge me rent because it would effect his social security.
But not paying rent leaves me limited on my social security.
I live on $500 a month. and $100 in snap.
When you consider Auto costs, registration, insurance, maintenance.. sometimes that wipes me out in one swoop.
I don't eat much so my food bill stays within the range.
If I end up with $5 in my account at the end of the month it's a miracle lol.
Nevertheless. I'm happy. Other than my disablity I'm somewhat healthy.
I'm still breathing
My cats are my world and my kids. They give me a reason to get up everyday. If I dont the litter box reminds me.
And if someone else needs my vaccine for covid you are welcome to it.
I haven't had a cold in years and I never had a flu shot.
But then, I'm rather insulated and it's hard to catch something when no one is around to catch it from.
I guess you could say I live by demand, And pray for supply.
