Is it illegal, or at least, illegal in the sense that it goes against the rules of SSI? I know that we on SSI generally enjoy less freedom with our money than people on full disability.

I know it's probably just my anxiety getting riled up. Was going to buy something relatively expensive with money I'd saved to try and have an escape during these tough times, but I don't want to get into trouble.
