Sorry to hear you got sacked. Strangely enough though I thought you were like me, a disabled pensioner. Of course unless there's call to think about it, like now, I tend to forget how different it is in the US to Australia.
I 'retired' several years ago when work dried up. I didn't get fired per se I was just informed that my boss had run out of jobs for me to do. I did hear from the people who bought his business a few months ago asking me about the website I used to manage so it seems he did retire himself. The problem with the economy now is that the returns on my varied investments are down. I'm having to look into other areas to invest in.

Here in Australia the socialist government has been giving away all the money the previous government managed to save for 10 years. I got some of that, and the latest budget would give me extra a week, but it's unpopular and it's possible there might be an election over it, in which case I'll get an opportunity to vote them out.
