I've had a savings account with a local credit union branch for almost a year now. I was told in November to close it, some one had the idea that it was against the rules to have another account in my name that was separate from the one my SSI goes in to (although I've read nothing in the documents mentioning that), but I didn't. I told my grandma I did, but I kept it secrete until she found a receipt on my dresser today. Damn it. At this point, I'm faced with the threat of being kicked out and loosing my SSI and everything that came with it. I'm certain these events are highly unlikely, yet as long as the threat exists above a 1% possibility I'm not entirely comfortable.
I didn't want SSI to beguine with, and I don't want to live off of it for long. It's a temporary solution, a means to obtain basic necessities. A person who lives on their own is going to appear more hireable then one who lives with their parents. Though in this economy, in this society, it seems a name is worth more then ethic. Someone from a wealthy family seems to find work fairly easily, regardless of their actual work ethic. Some one with connections can manipulate their way through job after job. And who am I? A lower class, starving musician with long hair and, as it seems, a douche bag doppelganger not far from here.
The things that are on the line include my truck and my apartment (which I have yet to move in to). Despite how slim the chances, I could loose everything, thrown to the street to fend for myself. Even if everything goes smoothly and the immediate threat is evaded, I'm still faced with a ticking time bomb under my ass. I don't trust social security enough to fully rely on them. I need to get things rolling, find work, get the studio going, get Warcat together and on the ball, some reliable source of income so I can get off SSI before I'm dropped from it.
