I finally got approved for disability benefits

I need these supplemental security income benefits temporarily while I get my life together. I do not plan on being on them permanently. I can help my parents pay a few of the bills related to my upkeep now and help pay monthly installments for student loans. I get Medicaid or Medicare health insurance coverage which is federal instead of having to rely on state insurance called well sense or mass health. I have severe mental health disabilities like ptsd, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. But I am going to work on acquiring vocational skills certificates/diplomas so I can learn career skills for remote work with flexible schedules and then I can go back to university to complete my degrees in a few years. Eventually I hope to make $50,000 to $100,000 annually though that may take me up to a decade or more to get there. I have a lot of time to make up for not working and earning money. I also hope to make some modest passive and portfolio income in the future on top of earned income with respectable careers and a bachelors and masters degrees. It’s time to move on with my life. I can even transitionally within a couple years get supported living for those with mental health disabilities to live on my own in an apartment or house but with reduced rent. Then eventually I will live on my own completely and travel as I have always wanted to do. I will not let my mental illnesses hold me back forever.
