Congrats, you're going to love it...
How in the world do you think SS is beer money? Are you just getting the minimum?

I paid into the system for 45 years and get a substantial amount every month. It covers all taxes, all insurance and all living expenses with about $1200 left for discretionary spending each month.

That being said, I have no debt, but may buy a new vehicle in the future.
