Money went out, but more came in

November 26th, 2008 at 03:38 am

Today was again an almost NSD. I had my appointment today to start applying for SSDI. I'm working with a non-profit (kinda) that acts as your advocate, lawyer, etc. They do all the paperwork, all the filing, everything. They are partially a non-profit in that they only get paid if you get approved for SSDI and get a retro payment to cover the months you didn't earn anything while you were waiting for the SSDI decision. IF I get approved, I'll get around $750 a month, be eligable to earn up to another $900 in a part-time job. The fee (if I have to pay one) will be $1,000. Definately worth it to me. At any rate, I did have to pay a $20 fee today to the company for filing fees and fees they need to pay to get copies of my medical records.

I also spent $2.52 finishing up a holiday gift for my friend A. Just a small finishing touch.

So, not quite a NSD, but spending in a worthwhile way. *smile*

This afternoon I got a call from the tarot store asking me to cover a shift tonight. Of course I said yes. Made $48, brought home $45.48 after picking up the items for A. So this puts my new total towards holiday shopping at $45 (I spent the other $20 from Sunday on the appt fee today). Not bad, and I am working again tomorrow. *smile*

Happy Tuesday everyone!

    That does sound like a good deal. They'll probably put a good bit of effort into it since they only get a payoff if you do. Good luck!

    Hope it goes through...sometimes you have to apply at least twice so don't get frustrated if it doesn't go through the first time. I'm sure in the end it will work out. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

    I hear SSI is extremely hard to get. So GOOD LUCK. (& yes, it may take 2 tries).

    Crossing my fingers...
