I hope you found a bit of a lift with all the advice to keep your license, and I agree. I had struggled with SSD (a long story), but since my husband's PN rendered him blind, he got an automatic approval for disability. It helps, but as his PCP said, "It's never enough." What's helped me plan financially, and deal with our inability to keep up with our bills, is listening to, and visiting the website of Dave Ramsey.nnHe recommends (as an aside, not his whole schtick - his main claim to fame is Financial Peace University, often taught at churches) creating your own income by putting your interests to work. I've started to plan how Randy and I can use our experience and limitations so that I can pick up where he left off with our business. There's a book Dave recommends with a title like 48 Days to the Job you Love, which I'm about to look for to read and if I'm not breaking any posting rules, will report back.

And, MrsD has never steered Randy and I wrong with her thoughtful advice! I always get a warm feeling when I see her name.
