Once you've been declared disabled SSI/SSDI-why do people even want to mess with going to school or working part-time? Learn to enjoy staying home. If you want to learn-go to the library.Order books online. When I worked I was in work-mode. I am disabled so I am in non-work mode. I think alot of people here weren't ready to stop working and were ill-prepared for what would happen if they became disabled. I look at it as early retirement.
