Nope not in the least, I'm saying more than that.

I'm saying he should find a way to make 40 thousand plus a year(not that hard) and forget about retiring.

You forget, you have money, he doesn't. You most likely arent wealthy but you have more than him. You absolutely can not live on 1100 a month and that is what he will be doing when he is not able to work anymore. And it's not 1100 a month, it's $950 after medicare. Can you live on 950 a month? What about inflation, live for ten years and lose 30 percent of the buying power, has the COLA equaled the real inflation rate? They don't consider healthcare, energy, taxes and food in the inflation index.

It's irresponsible to counsel Dave to retire at an early age. He can't.

Sad part is he will.

He said he would still be working and still be collecting SS so he’s gaining not losing plus he could get raises then also he never said he would outright quit. He could do both and yes he should prepare for retirement as best he can never said he had to do it my way just options to consider but you have it all figured out it sounds like, do you?

Coonman survived this long I think he would do better with a extra $950 a month then waiting for that easy $40,000 job you would think he would get that job now and be on easy street sooner if that was realistic. lol

May want to get a list of your years you’ve worked. My wife requested hers and it had about 6-7 years of her with no income, and those years she made as much as I did. They are looking into it supposedly. Last statement I got put me somewhere around the $2300 range. If they get my wife’s straight I may not have to pull much out of my retirement, although I don’t know what I’ll do with it. Ain’t planning on leaving the kids what I’ve worked my whole life for, lol. Figure me and the wifey will find something to blow it on. I’ll follow the ducks from Canada to the Texas coast while she takes a month long cruise!

Coonman, do you eat any of your critters...? I bet you could stack the freezer pretty good with back legs of decent coon, beavs, and mrats, plus beav backstraps. I've never tried coon backstraps. I bet you could reduce your monthly meat bill a ways. Just don't let the freezer go out...

We lend the gubment 15% of our money if we are self employed. I prefer to invest that money my self but that is not how it is done. You really are rich talking about things you know nothing about. Closet socialists are the Democrats. I dispise all socialists. Including you. LLL

You would be surprised the amount of people I meet and talk to that are in Coonman220 shoes. We tried to have a money management course for our employees. I was surprised at the amount of employees that didn’t understand a simple checking and savings account. New nothing about banks. It is sad to say the least. Social Security was designed so people wouldn’t spend there last yrs in squalor. IT WAS NOT Intended to be your retirement plan.

According to the IRS, coonman, at his $1,100 of SS at age 62 ($13,200 annual), wouldn't have any of that taxed as income until he combined it with other revenue to each 25k a year. Between 25-34k of revenue, 50% of his SS benefits would be taxable, 85% if he made more than 34k. That's the way I read this, but who knows, I'm not drawing now and won't be at those numbers.

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/dont-forget-social-security-benefits-may-be-taxable

Steven 49er- Yeah, SS COLAs rarely keep up with the real inflation rate, especially such as year like 2021 will most likely be. At least that it was the way with my folks, and they've been gone for about 15 years. The typical COLA was in the 1-2% range and not every year...

Let this be a lesson for all you on here. Especially the young. Save. Save. Save. Don’t count on anyone other then yourself. Work. Work. And work. Save until it hurts. And then some.

In 1933, when SS was established, life expectancy was about retirement age. FDR and crew never thought that a sizeable portion of the federal budget would be spent through SS "trust fund". Not FDR's problem anymore...

I honestly didn’t realize people actually relied on it to live until I got on this site. I don’t mean to come across condescending in any way with that statement, I thought everyone was taught to save and plan for the future. The military even taught it. Wish at times I’d done what my dad did, retire from the military then get out and get another job and retire from it. He just happened to work for the DOD after he got out so he’s double dipping, lol. Set for life.

Dave, something to consider ... Medicare doesn't cover everything medical ...$148.50 buys you 80 % of your hospital and doctor only after you turn 65. Without a supplement plan you're responsible for the remaining 20% of the bill for those knee surgeries you need, along with all your medications.

Regardless what your state does for taxes, the fed still wants their share of taxes on the benefit amount they will give you. They hand your money back to you with one hand and take part of it back with the other not including what you'll never see on the front end.

$1100 a month don't seem much after trips to Walmart, putting gas in, cell phone, utilities and heat. Might have to get a pedal bike to run the trapline, don't forget to pick up the pop cans for .05.
