People live beyond their means. I am an old age pensioner and have way more money than I need because I live the bush life,not the hollywood life. Is that your way of saying you're cheap?

I hear these reports on the news of items going up in price as high as 5%.I am not sure where they get their math from but maybe the press and government are using the same math they used when they counted votes.

I retired in 2019. It was working well until Biden took over. I've since gone back to work part time where I retired from. The pay is good and I'm welcome to work as much as I want or as little as I want.
I worked 5 months this year and that matched what I made on social security for the Year. Will take the winter off and probably work the same amount next year.
Coonman, you can draw social security and still make a decent amount working part time with no penalty.
At 65 I can make 18,960 before any penalty. And I get most the money back that I pay into federal taxes when I file That right the figures as I have tooken notes from call them but when if get old enough an no longer work, not good

Glad to see your thinking about this Coonman!!! Better have enough coming in without working because that day will come.

Of course I know that , at age 66, ur still not go make enough to live off ss, so I don't know what go do, early retire is still very attractive an keep work some, there still jobs could do at 70, if ur around , I don't think lit more ss at 65, less then $300 more I believe

Also you would go out and get decent full time job. Five years of working a full time $20 an hour job would increase your ss. At your age your house should be paid for, decent trapping vehicle and a little cushion for life's surprises. Come to think of it, you should work full time a couple years after your full retirement age. Draw your ss and wages double dip so to speak and save up some rainy day money
