Our house we paid $164,000 for 15 years ago is a starter 1 story 3 bedroom/bath house, in a rural 7K pop town. Kroger is the biggest employer. Property reassessment came in at a Whopping $264,000. Driving up the property tax the town raised. To feed two seniors cost Tripple what it did under Trump. Meat is down to marked down hamburger. Fresh food is too high, packaged in large containers. Singles are more expensive. We make one cooking into 2-3 meals. At 74/82 we are putting in our 2nd garden as the high temps of the South, little rain killed the one we put in last year. Rain for two weeks has delayed planting with a cold snap before it. Having been a single divorced mom for 10 yrs, I learned to coupon, and buy only what was on sale. But food has grown more Toxic since those days with chemicals that cause health issues.
FJB says our SS check may not arrive in June if he doesn't get his Bloated Destruction list. And the SS Cola will be 3.1 or less. Social Security Payment Increase Could Drop Significantly in 2024: Seniors Group
Social Security COLA to drop significantly in 2024, senior group predicts
In a news release, The Senior Citizens League said that the COLA for 2024 could be approximately 3.1 percent for 2024, or down more than 5 percentage points from 2023’s COLA, which was 8.7. percent. The increase was the largest in more than 40 years due to high inflation amidst the winding down of COVID-19-related pandemic rules and lockdowns.
Those without a fat govt pension, full retirement is nearly impossible.
The middle class is being replaced with immigrants.
Sick-care costs are perversely astronomical and the "medical" profession has proven that they are more interested in their own survival than in their victims... oops, patients.
STOP USING CC'S, USE CASH. NO LATE CHARGES. DON'T BUY JUNK FOOD OR EAT OUT. We had to do this under Carter, took years to dig out of that hole of late fees and added interest. FOOD CONTROLS PEOPLE, NOW AS IT BECOMES EXPENSIVE, SHORT SUPPLIED, WE ARE TOLD TO EAT FEWER MEALS.
