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. >> $130,000 and it needed a LOT more work than just the roof. But I got >> all or most of the work done in 2017 and 2018.

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.

Plus I got myself one of the best sound systems ever! :-) 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. |

I do not have to work full time, in fact I have not earned any $$ since Nov. 2017 and because my house earns me money, I'm still doing OK!

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. |

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.

Trump > supporters appear to be a special kind of stupid. 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. Jill |

I don't feel like risking a visit there. 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! Jill |
