Come to France! The welfare state will take care of you.
More seriously, I love your blog.
I know a number of very high IQ people (over 140) who have no money at all and are low income if not in poverty. IQ is not everything and IQ without EQ or emotional stability is almost worthless.
That said, a number of the high IQ people I know are on disability. Two are on disability for mental illness and one has mental illness listed as one of the things wrong with him. I know another high IQ person who has mental illness but is not on disability. In general the mental illnesses are mood disorders. Two have been hospitalized a number of times, and one has been hosptitalized a few times. One is chronically psychotic or nearly psychotic and the other has been psychotic on occasion. The other has such profound Major Depression that they are barely functional at all.
I know someone else on disability who has listed an anxiety disorder as part of their disability.
