I’m disabled but I’d like a future
I couple years ago I developed Multiple Sclerosis and I can not work anymore. So I’m dependent on the Government for financial aid to pay my bills. I have so many things to pay for that I don’t have anything left. I’m supposed to live off this but it’s impossible to get anything accomplished. I would like to build a bubble of money in case something happens. Do you have any opinions that might help me?
Thank you

That’s a terrible situation. It’s impossible to create savings when everything goes for current expenses.
I’m assuming you have Social Security disability. You certainly qualify.
Have you contacted all of the relevant state agencies to make sure you are getting all available benefits? For example, are you getting help with food from the SNAP program?
Here is a link to comprehensive benefits available in Illinois for the disabled. Check out all the programs, and maybe you’ve missed something.
Wishing you the best.
