Economy getting me down

[blondie71]

I have been trying for disability for 10 years but didn't totaly quit working until 2008 when my back problems got worse and the doctor told me not to be lifting over 10 pounds anymore, I took care of people in there homes and had a few clients I had to lift they would not limit my lifting and told me a 100 pounds was a requirement for the job so I quit. Now I am struggling I am about $300 short of paying all the bills every month and don't know what to do I have not worked in four years and I don't know what to do this stuff is good but not enough to make up the $300 a month it gets me down I want to work but I can't get anyone to hire me with my medical conditions and working limits the judge for disability gave me.

you should look into working from home as a phone
operator. some bigger companies (uhaul, disney, visa) that
have 24/7 hotlines have part-time positions where you
pick your hours and answer phone calls for customers
that call in to place orders or have questions.

i'm looking into it myself as a part-time gig. i know a few
people who do this a few hours a night for some extra
cash.

This economy has gotten everybody down.  Trying to find a job is even worse because if you have disabilities its almost impossible.  The government has no sympathy if you need help.  Hope things get better.

I know where you're coming from, I can't find a job even though I don't have any disabilities. Hopefully things will improve this year.

Have you tried to get Social Security Disability?  It took me quite awhile to get it, but I am now on disability.  It isn't the greatest income, but better than nothing?  If you more info, I will try and help you.  Hope you keep your head up and take each day as it comes.  I still struggle, but I thank GOD everyday for letting me get up.
