Thanks for the very kind feedback, Mario! I would love to sell my music to software developers...but since I am on SSD, I would have to report my income, which would effect my benefits. Moreover...my property manager in my building, would need a monthly average(to determine how much my rent would be adjusted.) This would be very problematic, as such an income would be very sporadic. I cannot have an income that fluctuates like that....as if I have a bad week or two...with little to no income, I would still have to pay the increased rent and thus, I could end up losing money...rather than making money.
I have a nephew in the same predicament. He has some major health problems but went to college and earned a CPA degree. Like you if he works he loses his benefits and one of many drugs he must take to stay alive costs over $2000 a month. Its a shame something better couldn't be worked out.
