So sorry to hear of your health issues... such a bummer. The current inflation and gas prices are a killer, and it especially impacts the unemployed/under-employed and retired segments of the population who have limited earning potential. And even if the rate of inflation slows, the prices are never going back to what they were pre-pandemic.

I'd sell off the ultra-modern stuff first. While the market has dipped a bit, I think you should still get what you can. Quality vintage stuff is far more likely to retain its value... especially in tough times.

Also, have you tried hiring a Disability Attorney? I know it differs by state, but in many cases, a legal specialist will know how to work the system and properly submit the paperwork to get you started and eligible for Disability benefits. I know that dealing with this faction of the government is beyond frustrating, and seemingly unfair as to who receives benefits and who doesn't. So perhaps a Disability Attorney can cut through the red tape.

Hope this helps and best of luck!
