200 a month for autism

Bumped up to 500 if I moved out of my parents house plus free rent if I take one of their subsidized housing units. But why would I want to do that? That sounds scary. I don't even have transport. I rely on my parents for everything, not just money and a place to stay. They do all the shopping, handle all the bills, do all the laundry, cook all the food and are my personal chauffeurs.

Living off the money from my father's death, should last about two years as long as I'm frugal. I don't have high expenses, but I didn't get a lot of money, either. This apparently wouldn't be enough for most normals to last half a year.

Student loan, no actual income.

Since I won't have classes for half a year and I'm aiming to be a game developer, I was strongly considering trying my hand at commercial solo game development. After some research, though, I've found that the only commercially viable opportunity for such is selling flash games to portals, and considering the restrictions on such games in order to be commercially viable (i.e. no wildly original things, make sure it can be learned in 10 seconds, a single gameplay session can't be more than a couple minutes), the importance of flashy visuals, and how shitty Flash is I think I'm just giving up on that and just try to make awesome non-commercial stuff in XNA instead.

My dad died and I got $100,000 dollars in life insurance. I put it in the bank at a 1% interest rate and I let it build up.

In addition to this I also get about $700 dollars dollars a month from SSI and I also live with my mother who pays for all of my living expenses.

Sometimes I take out a little money on the rare occasion where I need to buy something, but for the most part I just pile it all up in the bank and save in case my mother dies and I need to have enough money to live the rest of my life as a NEET.
