I used to make a lot, so I get (I think) near the top end of SS. I'd like to try to get back to work, but the way it's structured, your income counts against it. It's silly to make the same amount - you'd be working for what you get for nothing - and it's silly if it's marginally better and requires weird hours and/or a commute. So you'd have to make significantly more to justify working.

On the bright side, SSDI allows you to go 9 months with making as much money as you could make, to make sure you work again. This is great if you're trying to get into your old income level (assuming it was higher) but sucks if you're reduced to a much lower level because of (in)ability to work.
