    As a disabled person, having to live on welfare sucks (alongside nation-wide disability benefits). Whenever someone asks what you do for a living, you can’t answer the question without looking like complete white trash.

      Anyone who asks, tell them you’re retired. Retired is considered classy across all demographics. For all intents & purposes you truly are retired.

          Retired doesn’t always mean old. Anybody who has enough money to live the rest of their life without working is technically retired.

              Hey I’ll give it one more shot to remind you that you are a valuable person with inherent worth, and you deserve to walk through life with self-respect and confidence. You did nothing wrong to be in the position you are in. Walk with your head held high and present yourself with the respect you deserve. All us healthy people are suffering every day waking up and dragging our asses to jobs we don’t want to be at just to earn as much money as you are doing nothing, so although you’re not feeling physically well, you are living the dream, money automatically deposited into your bank account every month while the rest of us have to be literal slaves, breaking down our spirits & our bodies & our minds working soul-sucking jobs to barely eke out survival.
