My son got a job at the age of 57 a few months ago. He had a series of low paying jobs, with no benefits for a while. Food stamps and unemployment were very welcome for some of the time. I can understand how you must feel. Congrats again.

(9,426 posts)9. Happy for you. So
very important to have health coverage. You must be on "cloud nine" People do not really understand, unless they have been in that situation. The stress can be unbearable. Very glad those days are over for you.
