minus-square____@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 months agoWould love to talk further with you. Mid 40s, narcolepsy, and some doubt that I’ll make it to retirement age in a way that makes SSA pay meaningfully. Struggling thru the next twenty or so years seems like hell. Love my job, but doesn’t make up for the mess that is life for me. On top of that, I made promises to my wife of fifteeen years, back when, and I’m bent on keeping them. My disease is hardly akin to cancer, but I think you have some collected wisdom that would make a meaningful differentlce in our lives.
