As a disabled person, having to live on welfare sucks (alongside nation-wide disability benefits). Whenever someone asks what you do for a living, you can't answer the question without looking like complete white trash.

Anyone who asks, tell them you're retired. Retired is considered classy across all demographics. For all intents & purposes you truly are retired.

I'll use that when I'm older (I'm too yougn for that to be believable).
