The previous poster in this thread mentioned that they get, on
average, about $100/month. Even half of that, to me, would be a
huge boost, and that is exactly what I'm hoping my apps will
eventually produce. I've probably bored everyone to death with
this (apologies if that is the case), but it's truly relevant
here...I am a cancer survivor existing on a monthly Social
Security Disability deposit. My hope is to just get enough to
cover the missing $$ from the cost of living increase that we
haven't gotten since 2009, because the price of food, gas, etc.,
has not gone up in years (or so claims the gov't, but then,
they're all on crack, so...). A $50 boost per month would be
more than welcome. Anything more than that would be even better.

I'd take that over what I get now, any day. I used to have "real
jobs". My most recent was in US AFSOC IN, where I had a real
income, health benefits, etc..... Then, along came cancer, and
with it, massive medical bills and other debts continued to grow
while I was in the hospital for weeks at a time, out of work, and
not yet approved for SSD. Everything I had was gone by the time
I was approved.
The migraine I've had lately (and it's been trying to come back)
is what happens to me now when I work at a level that's a mere
fraction of what I did every day while working in intelligence,
and it took me three days of doing nothing to recover from last
week's migraine. It was at the point where I was told to go to
the ER if it didn't go away by the next day. I cannot currently
return to a "real job".
My apps may not make me a dime. But as I've said before, if I
don't at least TRY, they definitely won't do anything to help.
THAT is how I see all of this.
Anyways, yes, it's a different perspective, but it is also a very
real one to me, and probably to at least one other person on this
list (past, present, and/or future).
