I did it from 12/09 to 7/12 as a single and had income based healthcare from the Veterans Healthcare. I worked about 9 mos. of the yr. About 10 weeks each year for Amazon; Paid 9.90 hr and your space and hookups ( you are moving constantly and on your feet for all but maybe 45 mins of a 10 hr day. ) It paid for 2 months of R&R. I worked at two others; one for 5 months @ 7.00 hr plus FHUS and then another for $7.50 hr. for about 2&1/2 mos. I made it work, wore out the Cl-C; had fun most of the time; got a chance to visit relatives for 2 weeks of the year.
Now for the bad; had a severe heart attack in the end of March 2012; had to quit a job in July 2012. Lived on what small savings I had; borrowed from Peter and Paul; Mary was kinder. Applied and finally got disability this Month and paid everyone back. Live in the old worn Cl-C and see VA for Congestive heart failure; 1/2 of the front heart wall muscle is dead; Short of breath if I exert myself. As you can see Westernparkowner is correct as I never had a great income; but I will make it as I am a survivor with a few smarts left on survival.
You have a big decision to make as I did when my company downsized in Oct. of 2009 and I was informed that there was no more room for me! Wish you luck. Research; Research; and when you think it's right do some more Research! Irover
