How does it feel to live off the government?
you claim to have military service, this is likely your monthly allowance from them.

I've pretty much always worked even though everyone who was in my unit is on 100% PTSD disability. I know I'm eligible for it because the VA already told me I am, but I have too much pride to do something like that. I'm a young, able-bodied man who can work, even if I have crippling depression and anxiety. I also was blessed with high intellect which allowed me to invest in GPUs for mining before the craze started, and I've been fairly successful with trading stocks (2021 has been bad for me so far, but I'm still up over 300% thanks to NNDM and BNGO -- since then I've been in dead money because I bought CCIV at $30 a share, and bought some more at $25 a share).
I'm also fortunate to have inherited 4 rental properties and a large house to live in.
Like financially I am probably doing better than most of my friends, and I'm a very non material person so it does feel bad to take from others who probably need the money more than me. I can have $150K in the bank, another 150K on my trading platform, 50K in my crypto wallet and still live like a homeless person.
Most people can't do that.
