10. I'm sorry I went and got two disabling diseases and brought America to its knees

I know that I should've planned ahead and sold two or three of my mansions for more than they were worth during the housing bubble.

But it's all ok, now. I'm living the high life now on my huge disability check. Now granted I'm not living like the CEO of a company that made billions in profit and paid nothing in taxes, but I'm doing ok. My 13 year old truck still gets me to the grocery store just fine.

Whoops, I've got to go, my little girl is hungry for breakfast, geez we just fed her yesterday.

I do love how my rw family loves to talk about all those Welfare Queens that are destroying our country while living the easy life on their tax dollars. I have to ask them, "you mean me, right? I'm a lazy queen milking the system". Yea, sure, living like a king is what people on disability do everyday. I'm now bringing home less than a quarter of what I was making before a neuro muscular and auto immune disease started attacking my legs. I dont know of anyone on disability who wouldnt rather be working, healthy, and making a whole lot more than minimum wage.
