HI, I'm sorry for your predicament. I'm 53 and I'm on disability. I felt like this most days, depressed because my job was gone and frustrated with lack of money.

The things I did to get my out of my funk mood over it was budget, budget, budget. Since you worked in a dental office, I'll assume you were saving into a 401k. That's what I did. I went to a financial planner, boy am I glad I did. She gave me a whole new outlook on my finances, and helped me budget for the future. I've investigated many things, and one thing I learned is that senior apartments seem to have a financial sliding scale for ability to pay. I hope your apartment is within your means to pay, but maybe a visit to a financial planner can give you a new outlook on your horizons?

we too had a 401 K and was promised a nice pension since my husband worked 10 hr days , walked hard floors, rose up to plant supt. But the SOB's at Continental Can closed down and took most of his hard won pension. Thats how our xcountry works now...NO safe guards for workers, just billionaires , huge corps & lobbyists. GOP end all the safe vguards we had years ago Its true Look it up. GOP busts labor unins, loves low pay, keeps min wage L>LOW but gives billions to fat cats ..How is it we have trillions to waste on war Iraq for 14 yrs Only helped Cheney & Halliburton . and war mongers . We the People do NOT fight hard enough to end- stop wars that do no good . We still have homeless vets & elders who get poor care in nursing homes . Thats IMMORAL
