I got a notice from the government that I will get a 6% raise on SS which is "historic" but Medicare Part B went from 143 to 170. It's all funny money in my book. The way I see it the great American lie is that if you give the government part of your paycheck for a 41 year career and you end up at 66 dealing with the consequences. Which are : navigating the supplements every year and trying to understand it all. If I were not of somewhat of sound mind, I'd never know and would need a healthcare advocate. I don't think the government pays for that.
It's still very warm here and that saves on propane so there ya' go. I have turned on the AC a couple of times just so I can breathe. The tree is down and I'm over all the hustle and bustle. When I get some money I'm going to go clearance shopping!
I have no resolutions, per se. Happily oblivious to the real world, I am enjoying my golden years as best I can. If I had any advice at all for boomers it would be retire now after careful planning. You never know which day will be your last ^j^
