From you... you supplied the math; "$108.50"... SS is based on
previous earnings.

Of course... SSDI payments are computed exactly the same as SS, an
amonunt based on previous taxable earnings... and you get the same pct
increase each year... when you reach 65 the SSDI automatically
converts to SS. If $108.50 is all Kili gets for SSDI it's because she
earned very little and/or worked very little, the amount received is
also based on time worked. Most people who worked regularly receive
more than ten times that amount plus medicare. Most singles who were
smart enough to pay off the mortgage on their abode while still
working can live well on the typical retirees SS check, naturally they
can live a lot better if they were wise enough to sock some away on
their own and not just suck entirely off the gubermint, and support a
parasite.

As Sheldon said, "wouldn't that depend on the amount of your disability
income". Unfortunately, he always assumes that his circumstances are
the same as others. I just looked at my SS statement. It stated that
my SSDI would be US$1820 a month. I have no mortgage, no car payments
and Prop 13 property taxes. My children are all grown, although we've
promised to help with college for our youngest should she choose to
finish her degree.

SSDI is based upon previous earning, yes *and* no; Sheldon isn't entirely
correct there. Part of my SSDI problem is that my ex-husband and I owned a
screenprinting business for 10 years and I wasn't paid a dime; it was a
labor of love so-to-speak - pfllllpf, hrumpf. When the piece of crap
ex-husband scrapped me to the gutter, I had no income, no vehicle, no means
to support myself and I managed with nothing. I started my own company from
there.

The SSDI department is also basing my disability payments on how much my
husband makes in a month. At the end of the month, I have to scan in every
check he gets and turn it into my disability case file worker. The more he
makes, the less I get. That's why I was only receiving $11.50 for a long
time. Times are tougher, work is scarce, so they've upped my ante to
$108.50.

If my husband and I were to get a divorce, I would most likely receive close
to $1000 a month - still not enough to live on, in my opinion.

I've worked since I was 15 years old. I've worked 3 jobs at a time
sometimes. In college, I went to school full-time and worked 2 full-time
jobs to pay for it. Now, I need a little help because I've had a bit of bad
luck with the big "C" before the age of 40 and have had extremely extensive
surgery, as most of you know.

So, as to not paying into my SSDI? I've been a bartender, a cocktail
waitress, a maid, a fitting room attendant, a personal trainer, a manager of
3 corporate office fitness centers, a painter, a housekeeper, a
screenprinter, a graphic designer, a bookkeeper, a hostess, an IT
specialist, and a computer repair person. I'm 40, Sheldon. Have I had
enough jobs for you?

Um, talk is cheap, but.. Life is too short for her to be married to
a goon... a totally useless parasitic goon.

Whoa! Neither do I. I hope you are able to work at least part time.
I doubt that life is less costly than here.

$108.50 vs $1,000... a no brainer!

As a single with no kids you can live well on a grand a month,
especially in Fl, so long as you don't feed/support that parasite.
And nothing is preventing you from getting some sort of job off the
books... my tenant earns less than $1,000 a month as a teacher's aide
and her regular job ceases during summer but does all sorts of odd
jobs for cash after work and weekends... all summer she tended a farm
stand, not very physical selling veggies and running a cash
register... on weekends she made up hanging baskets and did flower
arrangements... and she has two kids, one is still in high school...
they live with their father but still she has some obligations... and
she also has a dog and a rabbit. Anyone who wants to work can, but I
can certainly understand how there is no impetus when you're obligated
to a leech.

With friends like you she needs no enemies... you are wishing Kili a
miserable existence, so you'll feel your life is elevated... you are
truly a useless mean spirited shit.

A better question is, "Why the **** should you care?"

The only time I see Sheldon's posts is when a regular replies to him.

It just eats you up that every time you try to pull Kili out of your spank
bank, you get my face instead and it makes you that much harder.

In any case it's *never* a wise decision to discuss one's most intimate
personal financial details on a public forum with a buncha strangers, falls

I think he's just jealous of what TFM has, and thinks that Kili would
