Dave, I'm sure he's thinking "retirement" at 65 in terms of Social
Security. I guess he doesn't know he can apply for Social Security
benefits when he's two months shy of his 62nd birthday. Of course he'd
receive a reduced amount because the government expects to have to pay
out longer.
 
The dollar amount of Social Security anyone receives is based on the
number of *work credits* they've accrued during their lifetime. Oh, and
the US government changed the "official" retirement age from 65 to 67
back in 1983. What he doesn't know about this would appear to fit in a
thimble.

No one cares about his sound system. He already replaced many of those
clay tiles when he first bought the place. They must have done a crappy
job.

How about, you, Kuthe, quit trying to talk us into renting rooms so we
can fit into your "financial model"? I, for one, I don't want a bunch
of strangers moving in and out of my house. What happened with the much
touted job phone interview yesterday? Haven't heard a word about that.
As Joan would say... crickets.

No math required. In order to retire you have to have a job from which
you are retiring.

So happy to hear about the wonderful sound system. $130K for the house,
$113k for the roof, that's $243K (not to mention other repairs.) It will
take you 40 years to break even on the money invested. Then there are
utilities, property tax and other expenses. That is a hell of an
investment for a non income.

Your $1600 per month in SS payments might not cover your electric bill
if you live long enough.

For you it would be age 66 plus some extra months to receive _full_
Social Security benefits. Your full retirement age might even be at
67.

What so many retirees fail to take into consideration is the rising cost
of living. Plus the fact there are always going to be ongoing repairs
and appliances that break down and need repair or replacement. Let's not
forget about car maintenance, etc.

Yoose the guy that has to filter your parasite-laden water to make it safe. My guess is yoose is the one living in a toilet.

It's truly a store although none here in the South. I've got a couple of
friends that live in the north and they've spoken of this store more than
once.

Pretty awesome, eh? I'll bet you don't have places like that in your town.

If you're talking bell peppers... you do realize the red, yellow and
orange ones are just more ripe than the green ones, right? Bell peppers
are not hot.

No one was hurt, I just violated a nursing rule, and it will remain forever documented on my "permanent record", and I MAY still practice as an RN too, unlike a 'suspension' or any more strict discipline. And itl;s "sensored" I believe, officially but not in 'spell check'!

They would have to be desperate to hire you with that mark on your
record.  It's a liability if you were hired and screwed up again.

Sure, but it was engineered for one layer of shingles and any snow load.

The truss engineering makes the difference.  How many do you think were
designed for three layers of shingles?

It's a bad move.  For resale value your new roof doesn't exist if it's
not permitted.

The really amazing thing (to me) is Trump's "base" is mostly comprised
of people he wouldn't be caught dead hanging out with. He might employ
a few of them as groundskeepers or other staff at, say, his Mar-a-lago
Resort. You'd never find him playing a round of golf with them unless
they are mega-rich or famous. I don't know why the majority of his base
thinks he actually cares about them.

I buy frozen sea scallops and here's why. The raw sea scallops in the
seafood case aren't straight off a boat. They always have a sign in
front of them that says "previously frozen". I appreciate Publix being
transparent about that but why would I want to buy previously frozen
(then thawed scallops when I can buy a 1 lb. resealable bag of flash
frozen sea scallops for half the price? I've never been disappointed in
them and I can portion out as many or as few as I want and thaw them
myself. I love, love, love scallops!
