While on worker's comp I make only 66% of my base salary. With my job that amounts to a $3360.58 check every two weeks. 1 bedroom apartment in Van Nuys, Ca I'm paying 2k a month. It's like being retired except I'm currently using a wheelchair to get around. Doc says surgery went great and in about a year or year and a half I should be all healed up...to hopefully close to 100%. Cali pays worker's comp for two years.

I really do advise everyone to live a life of being paid to just live life. It frees you from the stress of capitalism and all of the other stressors become easier and easier to deal with.
