Retirement Was Great In 2021

[Mr.Bee]

I was upgrading my guitars with new pickups, customizing, recording, buying new computers...
Retired life was affordable, I felt like a thousandaire!
Now I'm having to pilfer my life savings just to survive.

1. The Biden Social Security Fairness Act has been a godsend for us to help offset this economy. nt

2. Hey Mr. Bee...I'm sorry to hear about this. Any reason(s) as to why, in the few years since 2021 why things went S for

you? My best to you.

[Mr.Bee]

4. Affordability

Like it was said;
Now, after bills are paid, I have to limit what I buy in the Grocery store.
I buy at the deli. The ladies are very nice and keep me fed.
I buy pasta/veg salad to fill my 3qt pot and that feeds me about 5 days.
For lunch I split a can of tuna fish or potted ham into thirds.
Electricity for refrigerator and computer.
Use solar lighting.

11. I want to thank those who pay for Streaming

and have turned all their DvD movies into the thrift stores!
I've been able to see some great movies for a couple dollars,
and can watch them again anytime I want!

12. This is one reason why I'm still working full-time at 76. I figure retiring now is a thin - ice proposition.

I am on my feet on a concrete floor all day, and there’s not much left over by the time I got home.

I’ll be 77 in April. I figure if I keep working closer and closer to the day I kick off, the better off I’ll be.

13. I have one rental house, and the rental income was intended to ....

supplement my Social Security. But my Home Owner's insurance and property tax increases are gobbling up my profit. I know my tenant can't afford a rent increase, but he's a good tenant.
The insurance and taxes are going up on my home, as well. I figure if I don't buy any more clothes and don't eat, I should be fine!
