I look back on my forty years of employment, and see how poorly I did, just averaging about $25,000 a year, I want to cry, that this was because, I was born with cerebral palsy, and literally had to work for such pittance to have continuing health insurance.  My HR director always referred to me as being high maintenance, but I could care less, I needed four hip surgeries, that in today’s money amounts to a half of million dollars. I bet my health insurers had to dish out a million dollars to keep me going, hey that’s like getting an extra $25,000 a year tax free. I shouldn’t really complain, I was able to buy a Michigan Avenue condo in Chicago, meet the woman of my life, and also be able to buy a house in the suburbs. It’s hard to believe that my wife and I are almost as rich as Senator Bernie Sanders.
