Wish I could own a house
I wish I could own a house. I know that's a lot of people wishes in this day and age and its out of the range for the majority of people. I can't even afford an apartment rent due to being on disability income with no job supplement to help me out. I would have to get a job which would allow me same benefits as full-time employees, w/o working full time. I only want that because I still want to have coverages for medications I need to function daily because the provincial disability "bean counters" can claw back money from Disability income checks if one earns 'too much"
The amount now we can earn w/o it being clawed back is $1,000/month. So If I earned 5,,000/month my check would be first 50c less, then 70c and then more and more until I "paid it back" or they "cut me off entirely" which means a huge battle to just get it back on
For reasons I'm not quiet sure, I think apartments or group homes would not work out for me. I can't stand noise really and I'm really rule-oriented that it would probably cause problems between me and other residents of the group home. It was an issue once at (Day-program) in regards to getting food. That's a different story entirely-so I'm not going to talk about that here.
Some of the (logical) reasons I want to have a house of my own are the following:
1. So I can be a host to other people and as well as if they need to be stay over night. I think I would be an excellent host because I'm able to remember people's preferences or allergies.
2. So I can have a complete veggie garden in my back yard during the summer.
3. So I can have an above-ground swimming pool- yes I know there are rec centers but who ever heard of an indoor above-ground pool in a rec centre? IF I try to use a swimming pool, if its not accessible for people in wheelchairs or people who heads can't go under, I'm stuck in the kid's pool in the rec centre (Girl Guides/Brownies) or in the "less deep" side of in-ground pools (happened when I was 10/11 (old friend's birthday), 11 (Bible Camp), and also when I was 15 years old. (another friend's birthday).
4. So I can make my own rules for once in my **** life.
Sure there would be problems like having to mow the lawn, or figure out how to do the taxes or how the ** heck I would be able to get groceries because I don't drive. Not unless I might do something like some disabled people do and have a car that other people (mostly my Dad/Sister) drive or friends drive me to the store, if they happen to drop in.
@Disneywoman Maybe you can move to countries like Italy, Ecuador, or Brazil. THese countries have the most affordable housing.
@ajfdslsdvosdfjlbgrdjhrogt Not really I don't speak many languages and 2 out of three of those countries are really dangerous to live in And also I don't have a job in my country so it would be hard for me to get a job overseas at all.
And also the only place I want to own a a home and i mean a home in a actually house- is in the country I grew up and still live in. Not a foreign country where I don't speak the language.
also I'm disabled its hard enough for disabled people here to get jobs its probably even harder in those places for disabled people to get jobs.
