Living on Disability income & trying to starting a Business online
As a disabled person from a Stroke in 2008,and being force to retire; Thank the lord I was granted my Social Security Disability insurance( SSDI), on first go around, but it toke us a year to get it. That year was hell for my wife and I, The mortgage company foreclosed on us so we had to jump through hoops to fine an apartment for us and our little dog that die a short time after move from old age and her sadness of loosing her yard to run around in all day try to catch that damn squirrel.And moving from 1,500 Sq. ft. to less then 1,000 Sq. ft.
Let me get down to the money. On SSDI I receive $1,310.00 per month since I've bin on SSDI for more then two years I received Medicare my cost is $109.00 per month for Medicare part B so I see a payment of $1,200.00 in my account every month, Now i am 64 years old I was bless after being homeless most of September 2016 I was bless to fine a home with a church sponsored house for homeless men at a low cost. I did not like a couple folks that has bin living their.So I kept looking for a home I can fit in my budget I was lucky the lord put me on the right pat to locate a unit up in an old golf resort hotel that that changed to monthly rentals without a kitchenette are $600 per and with kitchenette are $700 but they do include Electric and water, no laundromat. And that make it hard on me since I don't have a vehicle and every thing is over 4 miles a way. And may condition, I can't walk it; if I could, I would. I ended up on a budget it runs as follow:
- Rent $600
- Cable bill: $123.20
- Paid back my lawyer: $100
- Main phone - my Cell: $49.41
- My bad habit Cigarettes $112.86
- Total monthly bills- $985.47
Business costs:
- My study resources WA: $48.65
- Aweber: $19 (Autoresponder)
- Jaxxy:$19 ( keyword tool)
Busntness cost $86.65
Total bills paid: $1,072.12
That leave me with $128.88 for food and miscellaneous; for the month.You say why don;t I go for food stamps tried that only got $19.00 per month. So yes you can get you business up a earning for less then a $100 a month. But I have faith in WA system
Thank you,
Jim Wall

I'm on social security my self. But I live in Norway, and the welfare system is a bit better here.. I only have about 680 (in us dollars) to live on every month. But that is after I also get my rent and electricity paid for by the government. I know how it feels to be worrying about money.. But at least we have a chance, and are doing something about it..:-)
One thing that can help you, as it helped me... I also was a smoker for 22 years.. (Rolling tobacco). Now I have been 100% smoke free for 2 years. The only thing that could do that for me was "Vaping" (electronic cigarette or e-cig) I recommend that you at least do some research about it on YouTube. Search for "Smoking vs Vaping" on YouTube. I have a lot more money now, and feel a lot better to, because Cigarettes and tobacco is super expensive in Norway..
Anyway... Good luck on your success here on WA, and God bless.
