    A sobering letter from the Social Security Administration

    @AloneNotLonely Hiya. Communal living among older single folks has been a thing for some years now, as well as RV/van life, if they are physically up to it. At 55, with zero savings and underemployed af, I've been investigating this. I will likely have to work until the age of 70 for reasons I...

    A sobering letter from the Social Security Administration

    Hi, @Edward764 . I'm recently diagnosed at 55, with zero retirement and over 100K in student loan debt from the 80s and 90s. At least half of that is interest. I'm making only 25K myself; never more. I was a hard-headed, impractical, substance-abusing dummy in my college years, not one to take...

    Where can I find part-time IT work, particularly for those on the spectrum? It can't be that hard.

    Me again. I work at Amazon. Just a grunt, but a lot of their IT people started as tier 1 grunts. IT starts at level 3, meaning you'd make at least 18.00 an hour plus acceptable health benefits and tuition remission. Benefits start your first day; tuition remission kicks in at 9 months, meaning...

Kelly Services may also be recruiting for this position. Don't know any more than this, but you should be able to...

    Just got fired today

    Almost 40 years ago, punk rock saved my life. My heart is still there, but when I go to shows, I am often mistaken for someone's pissed off mom. Carry on.

    More sensitive to noise

    5 years is my number as well. Not coincidentally, it marks the length of time I have been clean from a long-ass benzo addiction. And it is getting worse. Benzos likely wreaked all manner of havoc on my nervous system. Even though I am over 50, with some cog fog and a dad, likely also Aspie, who...

    More sensitive to noise

    You know, who gives a hoot if you are observed wearing earplugs. They alone aren't enough for me; must cover them, or earbuds playing brown noise or instrumental reggae, with a set of industrial earmuffs, as I can't afford a decent pair of noise cancelling headphones. You are maintaining your...
