Oh, dude. I dunno if they know - i doubt they do - but don't even *mention* your savings. Just say 'i make so and so a month, i can give you this much a month'. And start *low*. Very low. Like....twenty bucks. They may take whatever they can get in this day and age.

I mean, jayzus, if you need hearing aids, you need them a lot more than they need your money.

*i'm all for not paying my bills and getting five trillion, too. wheeee!!*
