[QUOTE="donna723, post: 280047, member: 1883"] kat, you have no reason to feel one bit guilty or bad about receiving SSDI. For all those years that you and your husband worked, you were paying into the same funds that will be paying you now! In another 2-1/2 years I will be retiring and going on social security and it's sort of the same ... and I won't feel even a little guilt over it! I EARNED every dime of it and so did you! With your background, have you ever thought about teaching? My son-in-law knows just about everything there is to know about computers. For the last few years, in addition to his regular job, he has been teaching basic computer classes (which he could probably do in his sleep!) and things like Photoshop, Word and Excel at their local community college. Many of his students are older people who have never used computers. He makes good money for teaching a few nights a week, and can pretty much set his own hours. They recently had a baby and he scheduled one course to end a few weeks before the baby came and the next one to start about a month after - it's up to him. And if he gets tired of teaching computer classes some day, he'll teach photography. It's worth checking out! [/QUOTE]
