SSA...COLA bring it on!

[gumby]

My dad has been retired for 31 years...I hope to at least match and hopefuly surpass.


I retired from the same job I was at for 40 years


Long may you run

It's like your boss saying..."you've been doing a good job..we need to reward you"
Thank you!

[jcwade]

I wasn't even thinking about that since I don't get SSA.
But, now that I looked, RRB is getting a COLA too.
Hooray!

[stevej37]

Dunno ... but they're getting a Pepsi too

[stevej37]

They should have waited for a Coca..Cola

[KFC911]

Or a RC Cola .... and a Moonpie...

That's what I'm getting next year ... never figured I'd see either

[stevej37]

Moonpie?? I might be too far north to know what that is.

Is it anything like hairpie?

Could be worse. You could be 30 years younger and forced to pay into the ponzi scheme, knowing you will get nothing.

But it seems that there are less, and less of us out here working honestly for a paycheck, everyone has found their side hustle, and government aid.

Never had both together tho' .... songs and festivals keep the icons alive .... couldn't download 'em.

Gotta keep encouraging them...or they might quit.

[stevej37]

I'm getting tired from wondering how I want to spend the extra SS money.

Any suggestions?

SSI is a bought and paid for retirement benefit by the recipients. It's not a hustle.

However, I hear you loud and clear. I have seen more folks work their natural ass off for unemployment benefits with the Covid $$ kicker than I can shake a stick at.

Lying MF'rs they are.

Dude, I get over $100 extry at 5.9%. I don't even want to tell you how much.

Kinda thinking used Veyron.

[stevej37]

If no suggestions....my ss cola will go to Bell's Brewery.
A very worthwhile establishment.

^^^edit: dude..good on you!

I'd hire a 17 year old kid... (preferably one without a phone) to pick up walnuts

No basis for this projection.

We've heard the same story fifty years ago.
