i was supposed to take the money the karen sends me and give it to the bank. and, i claim that is justice.

but, if the student loan is cancelled - and we'll see what happens next week - then what happens if i get a $100,000 settlement?

my income, according to the return i just filed, is a hair under $15,000. at 1.5% interest, which is more than i get now, i'd need a balance of a million dollars to do better than that, if the intent is to live off the interest.

as it is, $100,000 is probably good for 5-6 years. realistically...

and, then what? then i'm broke, and can't get on to disability. well, unless i can find some way to sell my fucking art. right?

hrmmn. 

i welcome the debt cancellation, if it happened, but i worry it might be a poison pill.
