Hello. I hope someone will help me. I am extremely intelligent, but due to possible brain damage or discalcula (inability to perceive numbers), I can't manipulate figures. I am currently trying to live on $824.00 month plus $300. total income. The government pays my medicare premium $150. month, $50.00 food stamps per month, and subsidizes my Medicare part D drugs (I believe the drugs copay which I must pay is about $120.00 month, but am not sure.
I have: monthly car payment of $250 month; care insurance of about $125.00 per month (not certain of the amount); rent of $750.00 per month (including trash removal); food of $500 per month; pet expenses of $100. per month; household help (I am partly disabled) of $400 month; utilities of about $400. per month; and cable tv and internet of $175 per month (roughly); I have about $120 month in co-pays on medicines, mentioned above..
Obviously, my expenses exceed my income and I have been borrowing from personal friends who will inherit my estate.
I have been offered a "job" at $15.00 hr for a 40 hr week. It reimburses for on the job driving expenses. There are no benefits for this job. There is no hope of advancement or of more pay.
I am 72 and think I can make unlimited earnings without reducing my SS. However, the drug subsidy ($120 mo. and the paid Medicare $150. a month) plus the drug subsidy will vanish if I take the job. I don't know what the drugs will cost, but I'm afraid to even think.
Can anybody tell me please, what to do. I have to know immediately. They just called and want me to start this week. It is a legitimate job and I will be paying taxes.
Please help if you can.
