Due to a PM I received, I decided to post this message with what @Rellwood stated in her message quoted below and what shows in her public profile:

My previous habits were if I read a single book by a new author and really loved it, I used to go and get EVERY book by them or EVERY book in the series, but what ends up happening is I would get the books and end up not reading them because I ended up not likeing the next book. This is the bulk of my collection.

Graduation in 2017 would suggest an likely age in 2017 of 21-22 (depend if any gap years were taken) I vaguely seem to remember that in the USA, Social Security for Disability requires that you have worked long enough and paid into Social Security. Otherwise, you might qualify for Supplemental Security income payments. Nit-picking, I know. Given that graduation was supposed to be in 2017, and the $783 SSI payment plus a California supplement of $160.72 per month (2020 numbers) which I suspect is the source for the $1000 per month Social Security for disability mentioned is stated to be the only income three years after that date, it would appear that a bachelor's degree still suffers from the same issue it's had for years—it's only purpose was keeping someone out of the job market for 4 years. Well, it does have another use but the parchment is really too stiff to do a good job.
I suppose I could have replied to the PM I received complaining about my "elder abuse" in a PM but it is fairly evident to me that the only elder abuse was in the message I received.
