I have nothing clever to put here.

So they take out your soacil security check on taxes.


Total income tax owed is calculated when you file your return. Unless you file a joint return they may not know of other household income. If they do know they will include it in the calculation. You pay it when you file your return unless you instruct SS to deduct it monthly from your SS check.

He'll do whatever he wants to, but thanks to you and a few people here giving good advice that perhaps some of the other readers of this post can use.

I've known a few that have retired to Central America or the Caribbean based on the cost of living. They seem to really enjoy it.

I’m good lol I don’t have thick skin and body hair like you canucks, I’d freeze my bbs off! I’m gonna stay way south of you, where it hardly ever gets cold enough to freeze the river. I did my time in the north, I find it much more pleasant when the temps are above zero

True....A buddy retired at 50 and moved to Alaska. He says he spends between $400 and $600 per month...and has to really try hard to spend $800. Said he's happier now than he's ever been. His pension is close to 10 times what he spends. He has no use for it. I spent a week with him last fall. I never felt I needed more than what he has. Plenty of people around the US that feel their best living frugal and simple.

To each his own.

I don't think it is the best for us to down play the need for adequate income when the poster is asking for ways to help manage for the future. Everyone has a different standard of living and for good reasons. Keeping one healthy so one can work when and as needed is crucial when other sources of income, or wealth are not ample. Staying healthy also lowers health care costs as well. For Coonman maybe taking early SS and finding work that is adequate but falls below the income ceiling may be a good option for him. Being a single adult also makes the situation easier but also makes it more risky in some ways.

Hopefully everybody either has a new roof , can do their own roof or has the money put away for somebody to do it. I am retiring in March 2021 and am having a roof put on now ---roughly 40 square for $14k. Plus I am doing new siding for about $10k with me doing that part. My wife and I kinda live pretty basic and there is no such thing as debt free at least in NYS. I have never had a mortgage since I built my house for cash out of pocket. But my school/property taxes are $7600/yr, house ins, car ins, phone, internet, cable, groceries, gas, etc are all bills that ppl have even when so called debt free. I will have approx. $1900/mo SS & roughly $2400/mo retirement. We bank my wifes retirement now so I think we will be fine and not even touch our 401k. Was planning on giving my son & daughter each $100k towards building houses also.

Thanks Dad smile ^

Coonman Don't listen to all these old stiffs that pinched their pennies all their life like Mr Scrooge and now going to live it up when they are 70.

Here's what you do. Find a third world country that you like .( Most are better than the US these days anyway) and move there when you retire with your grand a month and live like a king.

Since you are single and American, It will be one time in your life that your White Privilege will shine through. Find a hot wife and when you get really old you can hire a live in helper to wipe your butt for about $100 a month.

Your welcome.

Bryce the biggest risk I see is inflation. It won't take long to erode the buying power of $1000 a month.

YukonJeff, I've never been accused of being called a penny pincher.

Heck coonman, you being a eligible batchelor,find you a well to do widow women that don't mind you being retired early. One that looks at you as a man that needs to be kept and taken care of. Get on the internet or put an add in the paper. Them women are out there,looking and hoping to be with a man like you. That would take care of you living comfortably in retirement.

Sounds like the Philippines. Seriously have a couple of guys I work with that took Philippine wifes and one moved there. Wifes are half their age and very experienced being former prostitutes.

Not for me but not judging. Some south American countries have low cost of living also

If your buddies chose prostitutes then thats what they wanted!!! Most filipinos speak 3 languages and more.
