And I plan on taking it early while I can still enjoy it. A few more bucks a month does me no good when I'm in a grave or in the hospital |

I have been homless before. It sucks but you will make it. Mine was due to an addition after leaving the Army. Need any help PM me.

No politician or Congress is going to end SS. The ramifications of that are catastrophic. In a decade you’d have homeless camps everywhere. Civil unrest and rioting in the streets would happen almost immediately.

Here is life expectancy by age for SS planning purposes. Hydrae is expected to be with us about another 20 years. Very glad to hear he's feeling better already!
https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html SS is designed to break even at life expectancy. If you family has a history of long life, and you want to hedge against living well past expectancy, you might wait longer to take it. The good news is when you do the math unless you die toward either tail of the distribution it doesn't make that much difference, so you don't have to sweat it too much. I plan on following my middle path philosophy and starting about 65. Good luck Hydrae! |

I have to update here that I have a job!
It is as a part time order picker at Fred Meyer for now but it is a start. I should be starting by the first of next week at the latest. I am also confident that I will be picking up more hours on a pretty regular basis. I also have not given up on getting a remote tech support job still. I have been working with one of our wonderful denizens on my resume. We will see if making it better set for the modern world gets me some attention finally. If that does happen, I will still work at Fred Meyer part time for a while to help get caught up on the backlog of bills, etc. Again, this place is wonderful. Just like a family, fight with each other on the daily but step the **** up for anyone in need. |
