52. But...
We lost our house 2 months ago after living in it for 23 years. We lost it because my husband was injured on the job, the disability sucked and he got hosed, then it took over 4 YEARS and over a third of the back benefits to a lawyer in order for him to receive the Social Security disability benefits that both he and I have been paying for almost 30 years. The system is broken and we got screwed. There are plenty of us with personal responsilibity--what about the responsibility of the government to help when it's needed? The whole thing just sucks. We were lucky enough to get out of there with a decent apartment to rent that would take our cats.

I'm sick, tired and fed up.
