One thing I would like to see happen with social security? Bi-annual COLA. We fall behind every year. A raise in July would really help us keep up with this constant inflation.
@DocLaing Yes. Anyone who disagrees should have to spend 5 years living on just over $800/month (and that's not counting Medicare hikes for no real reason.)
@Mara_McGuire
Yup. My premium keeps increasing and the deductible more than doubled last year.
I hardly ever buy groceries at full retail anymore. I use paper coupons, digital coupons, and always check the reduced meat section. If I don’t save at least $40 each time I shop I’m doing it wrong.
@DocLaing @Mara_McGuire The secret tax: Congratulations your home value increased. Which unless you're selling that year translates to tax hike homeowner's insurance hike.
@MidnightRider @Mara_McGuire
+ property taxes + sales taxes +++++++++
It never ends.
And all the while I keep getting these ‘cremation sale’ flyers.
FINALLY! A sale to die for!! 😜
@DocLaing @Mara_McGuire "Declare the pennies on your eyes" If they could make money off corpses: Hi folks, Thomas Magnum, now I know you're going to think excavating your parents for money seems grizzly but not to me. You swindle people out of their homes with a warm smile and you can do anything".
@MidnightRider @Mara_McGuire
My Mom did this too. Sad.
@DocLaing @Mara_McGuire I'm sorry Doc, I didn't mean any disrespect. My mom is going to lose wealth because of the way the rules work. Not me, whatever I might retain isn't going to be in my name, you need five years or you push it all across the table when they come to take you to adult prison.
