I was diagnosed with sz about 44 years ago. And I’ve very rarely have more than 2,000 dollars saved up. This poverty thing seems to be part of the diagnosis of sz. It’s such a bummer. I would like to travel more and have more money to spend for my wife. I don’t know many people that have much money that have a sz diagnosis. Maybe i’m wrong but this shouldn’t be the case. There has to be a way that we can make more money. Any ideas?

Well, I had a 401K but I cashed it in to pay off a credit card debt. I think I’m doing pretty good when I have $2000 in the bank. Of course I could use more but I’m happy that I can afford stuff off Amazon and buy sodas when I’m out running errands or going to and from appointments. I could get more hours at work and make more money but I’m too tired to work more than four hours a day, three days a week. Extreme poverty to me means spending all my money each month and not having money for anything but food, rent and gas.

It’s not part of the diagnosis. It’s what the symptoms that make up the diagnosis often results in.

The UK is one of the worst Western European countries when it comes to financial support for the disabled . However, from all I know and have learnt over the years America’s disabled get comparatively lower financial support than those in the UK.

Invest in housing and rent it out to others.

I have usually experienced extreme poverty, and I had fairly high intelligence level. I had a lot of anxiety and have been lied about a lot, which I think caused most of it.

The most I’ve ever had was £22 k. I bought a car, paid off my student debt and lived like a king. I’ll probably never have that much again.

You never know! Finding peace of mind I believe does not necessarily require a lot of money!

The most beautiful people I know are poor and suffer too much while the ugliest people i know live Perfect and rich lives and have never suffered.
Yet they bully , sex traffic, steal and hate and look down on and lie etc
I don’t have any savings.
I have been able to afford second hand clothes on eBay because I went from size 12 to size 18 I need more clothes as my old ones nolonger fit.
I have been used when I wasn’t in my body or was “made to do something against my will.
I always said not for sale n a a %#+t head stole from me etc
I can afford food and living.
I can’t afford to travel overseas but can afford to stay at cheap motel a couple hours drive a couple nights sometimes with boyfriend .
Change of environment and so can be lovely.
I was never a gold digger looking to date only rich men.
I always wanted separate finances anyway so I do what I want with my stuff .
But one can be generous to each other still n take care of each other.
I had a multi millionaire boyfriend once but he was the cheapest man I ever dated.
Bought me dinner at restaurant once and made a huge deal out of it.never spoiled me or took care of me instead he used me and he was a bad man .educated director etc but criminal aswell I would say.
I lived with him a year and said not for sale to him but he had me in invisible restraints it felt like.
He wanted to be a swinger but I didn’t somehow nudes etc of me ended up on swinger site.we never did swing but files of me up there.for free.i think he took over my email n account etc too .
Sex files of us having sex but I swear someone else was in my body.
He had sex with me every single morning.
I masturbated in a porn video once and was paid a thousand crowns which is peanuts while all other women paid minimum ten thousand for same thing.
I wanted to say no but felt suppressed and like i didn’t have my voice.they sold that videos with magazines all over Sweden probably making millions or more while I got peanuts not even enough for a holiday or so only enough for one dinner out or so.
I also pray for homeless etc
Everyone should have shelter n food n healthcare even those on death row get that.
