@Chris DaIt's so obvious that the SSDI is being milked, at least here in Florida...this time it was the child who was on it but normally the profile seems to be a single mother under 35 or 40 with at least two kids, from what I've seen.I have a tenant with a real disability who collects, and a friend who's on SSDI, food stamps, etc., so I get the legitimate side of it too, but you'd have to be blind to see what's going on.

Some food for thought.

Look Beyond Your NoseWhen I got out of high school, I went to work for a construction company driving an extremely large belly-dump at an earth dam project for a new lake.Once a week there was a mandatory safety meeting.

An extreme example, but food for though.

Though I'm on the east cost (an hour from the McCain foods headquarters), my parents are both flat landers whose families where amongst the first to homestead in the Carberry (by Brandon) and Basswood/Newdale (NW of Minnedosa) areas.

Keep in mind that you are selling "safety".

I own an empty fast food joint, it could take years to get it re-leased to a strong tenant, many times we've all seen commercial space sit vacant for years, right?

But in recent years, Coleman began showing signs of dementia — he would forget to pay bills or buy food.

Food for thought.

You can never go wrong with having a good chunk of cash for a safety net and then money to buy with.
