In reply to SURVEY: which of these applies to YOU?!, posted by Janelle on April 4, 2002, at 18:07:56
> I thought it might be interesting to get a feel for how people on here are managing financially with what can be a debilitating psychiatric illness, so I've come up with a little survey. If I get enough responses, I'll tally them and eventually post the results in what is a hopefully meaningful and intersting way!

> Okay, please indicate which of the following applies to you:
>
> 1) Single, able to work, and able support myself (no financial problems even with the illness)NO
>
> 2) Single, UNable to work, on *public* assistance (e.g. Social Security Disability, Disability Insurance through most recent employer, etc.)Technically private assistance (employer).
Also, my own personal savings.>
> 3) Single, UNable to work, financially dependent on family (parents, siblings, etc.)
>Yeah right. They siphon money from ME.
> 4) Single, UNable to work, financially dependent on Fiance/Significant other
>Nope.
> 5) Married, Able to work and contribute to household income
>Nope.
> 6) Married, UNable to work, but spouse's income is enough to support family
