I would highly suggest hiding as much money as you can now. Get a separate bank account and take $30 out each time you go grocery shopping. Usually with big purchases made at Costco it is very easy to hide money. You have to do what you have to do to take care of you and your kids. I will be left with nothing soon enough so I am doing what I can until then.

JRN: At the very least, anyone who has inherited big money should not be collecting disability payments. Call a Lawyer. I know how you feel, my ex threatened divorce four times - calling me names out of nowhere, then threatening to leave.
