Actually, I've been doing a lot of research because my mother in law is on American Social Security, and she had a lot of problems. She was entitled to her deceased husband's work credits and survivor's benifits, but she said they gave her an ultimatum, she could not work over 40 hours a week or make a certain amount of money a month (very low). The rules were looser than the welfare you get social security, but they stil had limits. She said that money does not matter if it is being donated or worked, it still counts as an asset because you have access to it and can use it. Although the limits are a bit loser with Chris' program compared to the welfare-based program, anything that goes into an account you own is considered an asset. If you claim that Chris is getting donations than it's not true because you need a deductible tax receipt to have a legal donation, which means that Chris is earning money.
Now, I don't care about Chris earning money, I just have a feeling that if he makes too much in assets, the tugboat is going to sink and the weens are going to abandon him.
