There’s Always Free Cheese in a Mousetrap

Recently, a wealthy customer of mine came into my office chortling about how he was able to sign up for VA disability:

“Are you disabled?” I asked. “You seem healthy, aren't you a tennis player?”
“Yes,” he replied, “but back when I was in the military I had a very hard landing (wink, wink), and now I’m starting to feel some of those aches and pains.”
To this I replied, “You’re a wealthy man. You’re worth millions. Why would you need to sign up for VA disability benefits and collect $1,400 a month from the government when you don’t need the money?”
“You are right. I don’t need the money, but why not?” was his reply. “Everyone is doing it. The government is giving it out. It’s easy and it’s free.”
