SSA...COLA bring it on!
 
Finally...a raise. 5.9% starting in January.
An extra $88/month for food/beer and what-not!

(social security admin cost of living allowance)

big increase - not complaining either.

stevej37 12-07-2021 09:34 AM

Been retired for 8 years....first (significant) raise in that time.
Thank you to all who are still working! (keep it up)

Don't forget to factor in the big jump in Medicare costs

^^^ I have Priority Health and the rate has dropped in half last month.
Have heard nothing of Medicare going up.

Sooner or later 12-07-2021 09:45 AM

For most people Part B is going up from $148.50 to $170.10.

^^^ It's deducted from my SS check...so I'll see it if it happens. No word of it yet.

It has been announced.

stevej37 12-07-2021 09:59 AM

^^^ well...$88 up is better than $22 down.

stevej37 12-07-2021 10:47 AM

When the Jan check arrives...I'm headed to Founders.:D

Thanks guys!

stevej37 12-07-2021 11:18 AM

^^^ Nope...it's 12 six-packs or 30 gals of gas. (my car holds 10 gals...so three tank fulls)

You must be a worker yet. Thank you for that.:)

Steve: your SSI isn't a bunch. I hope you have other income.

stevej37 12-07-2021 11:34 AM

^^^ Been retired for 8 years.
SS is just fun money for me..the more the funner.

Are you still working? Thank you if you are.

It doesn't even cover the terrible inflation of last year..

stevej37 12-07-2021 11:52 AM

^^^ fftt...what?
Inflation here was non-noticeable last year.
Are you still working??

stevej37 12-07-2021 12:23 PM

I'll tip a few to those that are contributing to the SS cause. :D

stevej37 12-07-2021 12:50 PM

^^^
au contraire....I plan on as many years in retirement as working.
I'm almost a third of a way there.

Thank you for your ssa contributions.

stevej37 12-07-2021 01:24 PM

Nothing better than getting a check from the gov each month for having fun!
I wish I would have retired 20 years earlier.
