| Its incredibly hard out there these days. I'm 39 and am back at home. Its embarrassing, especially when all my peers have families and homes of their own. I came close to buying a house a few years ago, just before Covid, but lost out because of a house inspection that came back REALLY bad and the ... |

| Is the best route then to just try and get my mental health more manageable? Personally, I'd say yes. Mostly because I have friends on SSDI who are not living their best lives - only surviving day to day. If you can find a way to preserve your mental and physical health and still manage to work, th... |
